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 28: Joy


"Then young women will dance and be glad,
    young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning into gladness;
    I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow." - Jeremiah 31:13

Lord God, we know that you love Troy and its people. We know that you want to give us your joy. Work in the hearts of the people of Troy so that their sorrow turns to joy and their sack-cloth to garments of praise. Instead of a cloud of sorrow, give us the light of your joy. Release your Spirit in our hearts and our streets so that we overflow and become a city known for the joy of the Lord.
