a prayer for New York

Our holy and Triune God,
You have purposed to redeem a people to yourself

By the power of the Holy Spirit,
Use your people as instruments of grace to confront the culture
With the saving power of your Gospel
Which is manifest in the life, the death,
and ressurection of your Son Jesus Chrst

May the kingdom of God be expanded
First for the preservation of Your holy name
And that men might enjoy You forever

This I pray in the name of the Father

Through the Son

And by the power of the Holy Spirit

Amen

'And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, "Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people". And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Acts 18: 9-11
