Prayer For South Monroe To Grow

Lord, I pray that you aid this part of town.

There are many who walk around with frowns,

And are quite gifted. I'm asking that you

In their desiny get lifted.  Some don’t realize they

Are and the many that do realize  leave here

And go very far away for work in a new place

To stay. My sincere prayer is that the future blooms,

Where it is planted and with your help this place

Becomes enchanted. A place that the only title

That we are concerned with is being a child of God,

And that we develop a kingdom mindset, and that

This place is ran in that manner, that we put on

Not just for our city but for God’s kingdom,

That other parts of the world will benefit,

From our prayers, our giving, our church planting,

Cultural and educational venues, food menus,

Hospitality, family values and an infinite list of positivity

That you God will continue, that this place is,

Known all over the world for setting trends,

Not for the glory of self, not just for seeking

Wealth, but the kingdom of God gains stealth.

I pray that the leaders are restored.

I pray that the spirit of racism,

No longer drives this place to destruction.

I pray that people who left here in drear,

In attempts to break the curse of poverty,

To return to live here the way God wants them to,

On the best side of town, the southside,

Of Roe City, where people are talented,

And have often faced challenges.

I pray that preachers and teachers teach,

Uncompromised and differentiate instruction.

I pray that principals and teachers,

Really care about the pupils

Instead of their pockets

And that the goals are to propel

Them like rockets.

I pray that the kingdom mindset

Is something that this city gets,

Applies, synthesizes, and that Satan’s

Plans for Monroe will not win anymore,

And that there is togetherness,

And prosperity from door to door.
