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 8: The Sick

"When Jesus went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick." -- Matthew 14:14

Today let's pray for everyone in Troy who is sick. For those with 24-hour bugs. For those battling pain and illness that reduces their enjoyment of life. For those battling life-threatening illnesses like HIV/AIDS, cancer, heart disease and addiction. For those with mental and emotional illnesses, especially depression and suicidal ideation.

Jesus, come to our city and heal our sick. Walk alongside those who suffer moment by moment. Give comfort and strength to families and caregivers. Provide for the financial, emotional and spiritual needs of those who suffer. Amen.
