Calling all Christians in Troy - let's pray for our city.

Calling all Christians in Troy - let's pray for our city.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

In recent months (and years), our city has experienced a lot of violence, a lot of tragedy, and a lot of injustice. It is time for the cloud that is over Troy to lift. It is time for us of all different denominations to join together and with one voice, pray for God to change our city.

"Violence shall no more be heard in your land, devastation or destruction within your borders; you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise. The sun shall be no more your light by day; nor for brightness shall the moon give you light; but the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory." Isaiah 60:18-19

We're asking each person to take a few minutes of each day of October during the noon hour and pray for Troy, wherever you are. Daily prayer topics will be posted here; feel free to add others.

Finally, I want to challenge you to spread the word in your own network of Christians in Troy - let's get the whole city praying; as many people as possible. Please ask your churches, your Christian friends, small groups, any other Christians or churches you know in Troy to join together in this.

September 17: Prisoners


"About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them...." -- Acts 16:25

Let's pray today for prisoners -- for those in the Rensselaer County Jail and those from Troy who are in state or federal prisons. Let's ask Jesus to reveal himself to them and to give them living hope -- true repentance and true redemption. Let's pray for Christian fellowships in prison to multiply and for believers to be protected physically and spiritually. Let's pray for their families -- that God would protect and comfort them. Let's pray for a fresh start for prisoners being released -- that they would find work, new patterns of life and freedom from stigma.
