2 THE CENTER CITY PRAYER WALK Praying On-site with Insight This route includes prayer for government, law enforcement, business, education, churches, individuals, and more. It is a flexible plan, in that if special needs arise, or certain issues are in the forefront of the intercessors' hearts, you will change route, etc. to pray onsite accordingly. PLAN ON MINUTES. STARTING POINT Standing at the bottom of One Wachovia (the Juke Box) building at the corner of 2nd and College. TURN LEFT on Second Street and begin walking toward new Convention Center (on the right). As you walk down Second Street, invite the Lord to speak to you during the prayer walk and ask Him to give you insight on how to pray for our city. As you walk by the New Convention Center, pray that God might bring Godly conventions to town and that He would touch the lives of those who come to our city as visitors that during their visit, they might get a deep thirst in their soul to know God. You will walk by the Bell South Communications building. Pray for communication amongst believers. That they would not let petty differences work against them. Pray that believers might allow a John 17 and Acts 2:42 love to be amongst them. Pray also that believers might communicate their faith effectively to others. Pray for God to work in the Telecommunications industry. As you walk by the African American Episcopal building, pray that God might continue to work out his reconciliation amongst the races black, white, Hispanic, asian, native American,...Pray that racial barriers within the body of Christ might be over come that God s love would be shown to the world. As you walk by the United Way, pray for believers that work their might be a light shining brightly. Pray for the Salvation Army, Homeless Shelter, YMCA and others that get some of their funding from the United Way to be lights for Him. Pray that the Body of Christ might re-capture a bigger and deeper vision for meeting the needs of the poor and disenfranchised.

3 TURN LEFT on Davidson Street - You will walk by First Baptist Church of Charlotte, a church of great influence, love, and humility in our city. Pray that God would continue to use First Baptist Church in our cities life and would be a model for other churches to impact the world around them. Pray also for all the Churches of Charlotte, the God would encourage and anoint a fresh pastors and church leaders in the calling and that congregations would experience vibrant life. You will continue to walk up Davidson, past the Government Center. Pray for our mayor, city and county officials, and government issues. Pray that officials might seek God in their decisions. Pray that God would raise up future leaders who know both God, God s role for government, and how to govern well. Cross 4 th Street and walk another block. You will pass the Old City Hall building where you can pray for our courts. For truth and justice to rein in our city. For judges and juries to have godly wisdom and earnestly seek the truth. For justice be provided. The Police Station can be seen on the opposite side of the intersection. Pray for our police leadership, the police that are trying to protect and serve us on the streets, and for criminals to be apprehended. Pray for the police and their families as this line of work as some unique stresses and strains. Pray for righteous to be manifest in our police force. TURN LEFT on Trade Street, You will pass the Federal Reserve Bank, Pray that all of us would be good stewards of the money God has given us. Pray that believers would not be deceived by the love of money. Pray for the finances of our city to be a blessing to others. Also, being a federal entity, you can pray for national government and leaders as well the President, Vice President, Senators, Congressmen, and federal agencies that might currently be in the news.,

4 You then pass the Bobcats Arena. (on the right) Pray for this venue to be a place that God will touch lives. That some people will feel the emptiness of a life without Christ. That others will be inspired by a performance or event to give their life more fully to Him. That entertainment there might glorify the creator and not denigrate people who are made in the image of God. That all talent would be seen as a gift from Him. You will also pass the Transportation Center, (on your left). Pray for protection and blessing of those that use public transportation and for safety at the center. Imagine all the neighborhoods from whence these riders come and pray that God would bring His Kingdom to those neighborhoods. Pray for the financial needs that their families may face and for God s provision for their lives. TORN DOWN You will then go past a spot under construction (the Old Convention Center stood there) on your left. Pray for the future use of this land to bless the city. Pray that the commerce and shops there would be places where people feel the presence of God. The Prominent City Towers begin to come into closer view, pray that God would come into our city and allow His Kingdom work to be advanced. Pray for those professionals that walk this very sidewalk on their way in to work each day. Pray that even as they walk this sidewalk tomorrow you might speak to the deep needs of their hearts. Pray that every believer that walks this sidewalk would: Work with excellence Be mindful of their calling to their place of work Be men and women of integrity Have favor in the eyes of those who supervise them like Daniel and Joseph TURN RIGHT on College Street.

5 Performing Arts as you walk by the back side of the performing arts center, pray for God to bring renewal and awakening to the acting and artist community. Pray for believers that work in these fields to be winsome spokesperson for Him. Pray that art might inspire and point us toward the creator not away from them. Hotel and Entertainment pray for this industry that is a vital part of our city. That the spirit of God would come to those who are traveling and are feeling a deep need for answers in their life. TURN LEFT on 6th street, and passing the Library, pray that people would pursue knowledge and truth. Pray against false knowledge that presents itself as right and accurate but in the end is someone s vain imagining. Let a new wave of intellectual and scientific learning spring forth that reveals new levels of truth and show forth God s design. Pray for our public education of children. Pray that children would not be exposed to pornography via the internet or other library sources. At Tryon Street, you will see Discovery Place Museum across the street on the far right corner. Pray for this museum to be a place for children to create and explore God s unique creativity. Help visitors to have that sense of God when they visit this place. TURN LEFT onto Tryon Street, and begin walking down the main business corridor. Pray the prayers for workplace believers you prayed earlier and pray for companies as well. Pray they: Provide a useful and beneficial product or service Pay a fair wage Provide healthy ideas and influence on the city culture Value people more than profit Fulfill the unique calling of the organization Stop at the Center of the City (Trade & Tryon). The four statues of commerce surround the square. Pray that the foundations of the city might be restored as you stand at this key center point. As you see the waterfall on the far side of the square, pray that God s Spirit would come down in our city and bring revival and His presence. (if you have time cross over to the waterfall and pray there). "You heavens above, rain down righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness grow with it; I, the LORD, have created it. Isaiah 45:8 (NIV)

6 CONTINUE DOWN Tryon Street for 3 more blocks, to Second Street. You will pass the various office Towers, praying for the workplace, for companies, for believers, for nonbelievers. Workplace Believers prayers: Work with excellence Be mindful of their calling to their place of work Be men and women of integrity Be an effective witness Have favor in the eyes of those who supervise them like Daniel and Joseph 2 1 Pray for Non Believers For an inner thirst for God and the one who created them. For a desire to have purpose and meaning beyond making a big buck For a perspective that all good things come from you. For courage to face the truth about themselves. Company Prayers: Provide a useful and beneficial product or service Pay a fair wage Provide healthy ideas and influence on the city culture Value people more than profit Fulfill the unique calling of the organization Stop and pray at the Wachovia Fountain pray for 4 things based on the 4 images in the fountain 3 1) that believers would worship the Lord, 2) that believers would be fun loving and enjoy the Lord, 3) that believers would dance in the joy of knowing God and in being pure and holy in his site, 4 4) that believers would serve and help others TURN LEFT onto Second Street, as you finish praying for the business district. Thank God for this opportunity to seek him on behalf of our City. Ask that the scripture might be fulfilled no eye has seen, nor ear has heard, nor mind conceived of what he can do Finish at One Wachovia Tower where you started. (Second and College)
