  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).

  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. The pictured display of laundry soap and glass cleaner brings to mind God’s offer in Isaiah 1:18 to cleanse the stain of sin. Pray for a customer who has purchased Tide or Windex from this store to receive His cleansing, for it is the only way to authentically be declared righteous.
  2. In describing the Transfiguration, Mark 9:3 states that Jesus’ clothes were whiter than any launderer on earth could whiten fabric. Pray for Christians living / working in the vicinity of our map marker to be reminded again of the holiness and majesty of their Savior.
  3. One block up from our current location is the Crack is Wack playground. Pray for a current Harlem addict to realize that true freedom from addiction of any kind is only obtained in Jesus Christ, and to turn to Him for deliverance.

  3. Pray for the the person closest to eternity who will cross the bridge today to be saved before it’s too late.

  1. This skyline view is of NYC’s Harlem neighborhood, which is across the Harlem River from Randall’s Island. Harlem, New York, was originally a Dutch settlement named after Haarlem in the Netherlands (spelling changed when the British took over New York). Corrie ten Boom was born and lived in Haarlem, Holland. There is a very good guided virtual tour of the ten Boom house/clock shop available by following the link at the bottom of this post. Pray that many girls currently growing up in Harlem, New York, will have and take the opportunity to become women who have the same kind of love and trust in God that Corrie did.
  2. Teqball is a new sport (invented in 2014) that combines elements from several other sports. Pray for a player who uses the Teqball Table Location of Randall’s Island Park to meet and follow Jesus.
  3. Pray for God to meet the spiritual and financial needs of the newest Biblically solid church started in Harlem.

  1. An interesting rule relating to pedestrians using the Randall’s Island Park bridge is stated on the black sign in the lower left corner of the picture: “Use of cameras on bridge prohibited and strictly enforced.” Whether pedestrians agree with this rule or not, they must comply. Pray for someone who routinely crosses the bridge and chafes at every rule and authority figure in his life to have a change of heart, starting with his view of God, the ultimate Authority.
  2. Not far from our map marker is the Astoria World Manor, which Google describes as an “elegant event venue hosting weddings, corporate functions, and other celebrations in grand ballrooms.”  Pray for a member of a wedding party scheduled to occur at the manor to become qualified to attend the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, which will outshine any earthly event or venue.
  3. Donovan Richards, Jr., is the 41 your old president of the Borough of Queens. He has a religious background. Pray for the Lord to help him start or grow (whichever the need is) in his relationship with the heavenly Father today.
