  1. Giant Laundry offers both a self-service laundromat and drop-off wash-dry-fold services. Pray for a Christian utilizing the laundromat to leave a gospel tract on one of the countertops, and for a lost individual to pick it up and read it, really think about the message, and believe in Jesus.
  2. Next to Giant Laundry is Family Dollar (not visible in the above screenshot). Pray for the corporate buyer who is responsible for ordering merchandise for this Family Dollar to follow Jesus’ directive in Matthew 6:33, beginning with salvation and extending to victory over anxiety.
  3. Pray for a city worker whose responsibilities include maintaining the pictured streetlight to himself be illuminated by the Light of the World.

  1. This garden is a nice retreat from the normal hustle and bustle of NYC. Being in a place where one can only see things God made is an invigorating restorative to the soul. Pray for any believers who will visit the New York Botanical Garden this week to take the opportunity to be still, and know that He is God.
  2. Pray for a garden employee who does not personally know the Creator to heed the words of the One Whose plants he tends.
  3. Thain Family Forest (to the right of our map marker) contains glacier markings, pre-colonial Native American hunting paths, and trees from the American Revolution era. The fifty acre forest is the reason the entire site of the NYBG was chosen. Indeed, NYBG founding director Nathaniel Lord Britton described Thain Family Forest as “the most precious natural possession of the city of New York” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thain_Family_Forest). Pray for a Christian family enjoying the hiking trails to pass on a faithful spiritual legacy to their successive generations that will last into the future as long as Thain Family Forest has been part of the North American landscape (or until the rapture, if that happens first).

Sunday Songs Series: “Cleanse Me”

Psalm 139:23-24

Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties;
and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Ezekiel 14:1-6 describes a situation where some leaders came to inquire of the Lord, but they had set up idols in their hearts. It was a travesty to pretend to seek God’s leadership when their hearts’ affections did not bend the knee to Him. God’s answer included the admonition for them to repent.

Unfortunately, this reality is occurring today in our country. Some people openly spurn God. Others give Him a token acknowledgment (whether for sentimental, superstitious, or pragmatic reasons), but their hearts belong to the things of this world. Even we as Christians can slip into similar habits from time to time.

Today’s hymn is a clarion call to be honest with God, to ask Him to show us what in our hearts needs to be changed. It is a prayer copied from David’s words in Psalm 139. The link below does not contain the fourth verse, but those lyrics are written out above today’s prayer requests. If we are ever to see true, widespread revival again in our nation, it must begin with repentance in the church, and then it will spread to regeneration of the lost.

Listen to “Cleanse Me”:

Fourth verse lyrics:

O Holy Ghost,
Revival comes from Thee;
Send a revival,
Start the work in me.
Thy Word declares
Thou wilt supply our need;
For blessings now,
O Lord, I humbly plead.

  1. Pray for Christians to be honest with God today.
  2. Pray that the lost who give a token acknowledgement to God will really see their need to genuinely believe the gospel.
  3. Pray for revival and regeneration to sweep across our land.

E. 187th St. & Cambreleng Ave., NYC

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of New York City.

  1. Pray for today’s cashier at this corner Deli Grocery to have a Christian customer who will plant a gospel seed, and for that the cashier’s heart to be receptive ground where the Holy Spirit can germinate the seed.
  2. Pray for a grandparent planning to take a grandchild to the Children’s Zoo today, that both of them will have and take the opportunity to become Christians in the near future. A fringe benefit of becoming God’s children is that they would both enjoy the incredible restoration of the animal world during the Millennium, when the lion lies down with the lamb.
  3. The Bronx typically has a bad reputation for reasons such as high crime and poverty rates. Pray for Christians living within today’s map area who are trying to be lights for Christ, that the Lord will bless those efforts and grant His provision and protection to His servants.

  1. A virtual tour of the Grand slam Banquet Hall reveals that the goal of the establishment is to provide an extremely elegant setting for formal events. Imagine if our prayer walk was actual instead of virtual. We would have walked 55.79 miles to get to this point, and we’d be ready for a hearty sit down meal. Imagine also that the owner of the banquet hall came out and invited us in free of charge. We would be very impressed as we entered and saw the huge crystal chandelier. Yet all of the finery of this world doesn’t even compare to what it will be like at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Pray for a server at the Grand Slam Banquet Hall to make reservations for that heavenly banquet, not ignoring the gracious invitation of the King.
  2. Behind the banquet hall building is a Spanish church and a COGIC prayer garden. Pray for there to be genuine worshipers at these places, such as the Father seeks, who worship Him in spirit and in truth.
  3. Pray for a self-proclaimed atheist in the Bronx to turn from being a fool to someone who acknowledges and accepts the truth.

  1. Pray for the next driver and five passengers who look out these vehicle windows to see things that the Holy Spirit will then use to draw their attention to God. Pray for them to be obedient to His work in their souls.
  2. Pray for a Christian resident in the Mt. Hope neighborhood who has a terminal illness to be encouraged today by the sure hope he has in Christ.
  3. Destination Tomorrow is the Bronx’s LGBTQ+ center. Pray for someone involved with that organization to be transformed by the gospel, and testify to the reality of John 8:31-36.

  1. No matter how many buildings crowd New York City, the sky is always bigger. One day Jesus Christ will rapture His church to meet Him in the clouds. Pray for each of the four pictured apartment buildings to have a steady stream of Christian residents who will be a light for God until He comes.
  2. There were 38,000 adherents to Islam in the Bronx in 2010. By 2020, that number had nearly tripled to 112,000. Another way to grasp this is that one out of every twelve people is Muslim. Rough estimates of data regarding the number of born again Christians rank them at a lower percentage of the Bronx’s population. Pray for God’s people to make a difference in their community.
  3. Pray for an X-ray technician at the BronxCare Hospital to meet the God Who sees inside every individual, and accept His offer of salvation.

  1. Since last time, we have crossed into the Bronx, our last borough of New York City. Pray for the Lord to use our prayers during the next couple of weeks to make an eternal difference in the lives of people living/working in this borough.
  2. The shoe store above is Skechers, whose slogan is “Good for your feet. Good for the world.”  Scripture states that beautiful are the feet of those who bring the gospel, and the gospel is truly the best thing for the world. Pray for God to call many young men living in the Bronx to be preachers of His Word, and for them to be faithful to His call.
  3. Over half of the Bronx’s population is Hispanic. Pray for a Hispanic family to trust Christ alone for salvation, that they may claim the promises contained in yesterday’s featured song, “Del Amor Divino.”

Sunday Songs Series: “Del Amor Divino”

Romans 8:38-39

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Because worship is a vital component of prayer, TGP started the Sunday Songs Series last week. God’s children have always brought adoration to Him through music, and this will continue throughout eternity. Since the focus of TGP’s prayers is for Jesus to be known through Biblical worldwide evangelization and discipleship, it is appropriate that some of our featured songs be from other languages. Such is the case today with the Spanish hymn “Del Amor Divino” (“Of Divine Love”).

I first heard “Del Amor Divino” in 2004 in Lima, Peru. It immediately became my favorite Spanish song, not only because of the song’s melody, but also because of the depth of truth in the lyrics, which are taken from the last several verses of Romans 8. The secure foundation of God’s love for a believer cannot be over emphasized. It provides the confidence to face anything that happens in life and death.

Listen to “Del Amor Divino”:

  1. Pray for Christians around the world to be encouraged today by the truth contained in “Del Amor Divino.”
  2. Pray for lost people who are floundering through life without a solid foundation to trust Jesus, so that they, too, can know His love.
  3. Pray for the top 100 enemies of Christianity to be led to repentance through the goodness of God (Rom. 2:4).
