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 5: Families

"As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him."

Today, let us pray for the families in Troy. So many families here are broken; the parents do not know how to be fathers and mothers, the children often fend for themselves and their siblings. Families with both a father and a mother are rare.

Lord, we pray that you would turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers. We pray that parents would show your fatherly love and compassion to their children and to each other, and that children would honor and respect their parents. Lord Jesus, heal the broken families in Troy.
