Father,
We trust and know that all is your hands. Place your protection over this city and the people here, Lord. Provide for those who are impoverished and press upon those whom you've blessed so they would be your hands reaching out to those in need. Make all of us in your church more sensitive to your Spirit. Make us responsive and obedient so that we would know when to give and when to receive. Make us aware of the movings of your Spirit within the communities of this city so that we might depend on you and be encouraged and renewed in you. Strengthen your church here in this city so that we would learn to lean on you in times of blessing and also in times of hardship. Remind us that your econony is different from man's economy. Remind us that your goodness and provision is not affected by the stock market or by real estate or by tourism or anything else we might be tempted to depend upon. Remind us that we are called first to love you and then our neighbors regardless of the financial headlines or whether the city's economy is booming or slowing. As your church in Miami let us grasp firmly to you and nothing else so that you may be glorified throughout the world in times of prosperity and in times of economic and political uncertainty. We pray this together in the power and authority of the name of Jesus. Let us rejoice in you always! Amen.
