Homeless: Prayer For Parks To Become Safe Dwelling Places For The Homeless 




Avinu Malkeinu, our Father and our King, I come before You with a heart full of compassion and concern for those who are homeless. Hashem, You are the God who sees and hears, the One who knows every need and every heart. I lift up the parks in our cities, those places of green and open space that could be havens of rest and safety for the homeless. 


Hashem, I plead the shield of Yeshua’s blood over these parks, invoking the protection and redemption that His sacrifice brings. Yeshua, our Messiah, has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows, and by His wounds, we are healed. I ask that His blood cover these parks, sanctifying them and making them places of refuge and peace.


Your Word says in Psalm 46:1, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” I pray that You will become the refuge and strength for the homeless, that they will find in You a place of safety and rest. Let these parks be transformed into places where Your presence is felt, and Your peace reigns.


In Isaiah 32:18, it is written, “My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest.” I claim this promise for the homeless, that they may find secure homes and undisturbed places of rest within these parks. Let these green spaces become peaceful dwelling places where they can find shelter and protection.


Lord, I call upon the fire of God, the consuming fire that purifies and refines. May Your holy fire descend upon our parks, burning away any elements of danger and creating an atmosphere of holiness and righteousness. Let this fire drive out fear, violence, and harm from these areas, replacing it with safety, warmth, and the light of Your presence.


Hashem, Your Word declares in Psalm 91:1-2, “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’” I pray that the homeless will find their shelter under Your wings, that they will rest in Your shadow, knowing that You are their refuge and fortress.


Father, I pray that You will be glorified in the transformation of these parks. Let it be evident to all that it is by Your hand that these changes come to pass. As the homeless find safe dwelling places, may their hearts turn to You in gratitude and worship. Let Your name be exalted and magnified through the works of Your mercy and grace.


I pray for the hearts of those who have the means to help, that they will be moved with compassion and generosity. Let them see the homeless through Your eyes, with love and a desire to help. May communities come together in unity, working to create safe spaces within these parks for everyone.

In all these things, Father, may Your name be glorified. Let the transformation of our parks testify to Your goodness and power. May Yeshua’s love shine brightly, drawing many to Your kingdom.

I pray all of this in the mighty and holy name of Yeshua, our Messiah and Redeemer. Amen.
