Prayer starter

In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” - Isaiah 6:1-3

God, You are Holy, and your kingdom is above any other kingdom. We lift up the city of Istanbul, that your name would be pronounced in every corner of this nation/city, and that your presence would cover the whole city, so that your people would give you honor and glory as they recognize you as The Most High King and prince of Istanbul. May you reign in this city and bring light to your people. For the glory and honor belongs to you.
