Daily Prayer
God, invade New York City. Awaken the hearts of every person. And once awakened, heal whatever is broken.
God, make New York City a city of relentless Christ followers. Fill every local church in New York with your Holy Spirit and presence. Let every community in New York be transformed by your power and presence.
Bring unity and racial harmony to our beautifully diverse city. Give our leaders wisdom and a heart to serve. Restore families. Bring justice. Heal New York.
God, do what only You can do. Transform my city, and use me. Use my mouth to boldly tell people how amazing You are. Use my hands to compassionately reach out to my friends and family. Use my feet to fearlessly go to the places of New York where you are needed most.
God, let all of New York know how good, powerful and amazing you are. This is my city. This is my prayer.
