CANOPY OF PRAYER

Continuous prayer cover for Birmingham

can you pray REGULARLY for one hour for birmingham?

“We prayed to our God and guarded the city day and night to protect ourselves.” Nehemiah 4:9

Our prayers can change our city. God has given us a vision for a canopy of unceasing prayer over our Birmingham. We want to find out what is already happening in prayer across the city and then we can spot the gaps that need to be filled. 

There is already so much prayer happening by Christian individuals, churches, small groups and organisations across Birmingham.  We want to join with young and old people, churches, ministries, prayer groups and intercessors with a passion to pray for Birmingham.

We believe that Birmingham is key to the outworking of God’s plan for our nation. Birmingham is the heart of our nation, both spiritually and in location. What is formed in the heart flows out of it.  God wants the heart restored.

 

How it works

“Appoint residents to act as guards, everyone on a regular watch.” Nehemiah 7:3

If you have a passion to pray for Birmingham as an individual, a small group, church or organisation, we encourage you to sign up to be part of the canopy of prayer by committing to pray for a regular or one-off prayer watch. You may already have a prayer meeting where you pray for Birmingham that you can add as a regular prayer watch, or you can start a new one!

You can sign up to pray for 60 minutes. Then, you pray wherever you are and however you want for your prayer watch. You can pray, worship, declare, contemplate, prayer walk or prayer cycle!

  1. Register for a prayer watch by completing the form below.
  2. For your prayer watch, you can pray where you are or gather as a group or church to pray for the city. Pray however the Lord leads or you can use the prayer wheel (below) that we have compiled with scriptures and topics for each hour.
  3. Feedback anything you feel is significant for Birmingham to the canopy of prayer coordinator or join the Canopy of Prayer Facebook group. You will need a Facebook account to do this.

PRAYER WHEEL

We have produced a prayer resource that you may want to use. We have divided 24 hours into A.M. and P.M. segments with a theme for each segment. When you sign up to take a prayer watch, on the prayer wheel, we have provided scriptures and a topic for each hour. You can use these to help you pray. We want to work towards covering the City with 24 hours of prayer, praise and the declaration of the living word of God.
