Senate Joint Resolution 7076, sponsored by Pody, recognizes PRAY Nashville, a citywide initiative that unites leaders, pastors, and intercessors from diverse backgrounds and denominations. The mission of PRAY Nashville is to commission "Gatekeepers" who will engage in unified prayer to create a protective and blessing-filled environment around the Greater Nashville area, inspired by the biblical example in the book of Nehemiah. The initiative encourages participants to pray for one hour each week, along with a shared one-minute prayer, starting on September 11, 2023, focusing on their neighborhoods and the broader community.
The resolution expresses support for PRAY Nashville's efforts to inspire the local community to come together in prayer for the peace and prosperity of the city. It emphasizes the importance of collective prayer in rebuilding and renewing the hearts and homes of the residents of Greater Nashville. The resolution concludes with a directive for an appropriate copy to be prepared for presentation, omitting specific legislative designations.
