Senate Resolution 7004 recognizes PRAY Nashville, a citywide initiative that unites leaders, pastors, and intercessors from diverse backgrounds and denominations to promote unified prayer in the Greater Nashville area. The movement draws inspiration from the biblical book of Nehemiah, aiming to commission "Gatekeepers" who will create a protective and blessing-filled environment through prayer. The mission emphasizes the importance of collective prayer for the peace and prosperity of the city, encouraging participants to rebuild their communities and renew their spirits.
As part of this initiative, PRAY Nashville invites each Gatekeeper to commit to praying for one hour each week, alongside a shared one-minute prayer, starting September 11, 2023. This effort is designed to foster a sense of community and spiritual growth among residents of Greater Nashville. The resolution formally acknowledges the contributions of PRAY Nashville in inspiring local leaders and residents to uplift their community through prayer.
