Praying Amos 5:24 for the Bahamas

But let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream. -Amos 5:24
With beautiful coral reefs, lush vegetation, and many different species of animals, the Bahamas is one of the most popular resorts in the Western Hemisphere. As we walk along the gorgeous beaches and talk with friendly locals, we find the Bahamas are in need of God’s guidance, protection, and healing.
Here are a few key ways we can focus our prayers:
- Pray for spiritual renewal. While Christianity is the dominant faith in the Bahamas, many are in need of spiritual renewal. Pray that churches rise up to share the gospel in fresh, impactful ways. Ask God to move in the hearts of Bahamians, leading them to a true and personal relationship with Christ.
- Pray for a hunger for God’s riches rather than material wealth. In a society influenced by tourism and materialism, pray that Bahamians seek the spiritual riches found in a relationship with God. Ask the Lord to cultivate a hunger for His Word and His presence rather than worldly possessions.
- Pray for righteous lawmakers. Pray leaders and lawmakers in the Bahamas rule with integrity and righteousness. Ask God to raise up officials who will not neglect the poorest residents and help the most vulnerable.
- Pray for believers to serve Haitian immigrants humbly. The Bahamas is home to many Haitian immigrants who face significant challenges. Pray that the Bahamian church will reach out in love and humility to serve them, sharing the gospel and providing practical help.
As we lift up the Bahamas in prayer, let’s trust God’s righteousness to roll like a river through the Bahamas, bringing hope and restoration to all who will hear and respond in faith.
