Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of gratitude and reverence, lifting up ### and the ministry to the youth. Lord, we ask for Your divine guidance and strength to be upon this ministry. Your Word tells us in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." May this ministry be a beacon of light, guiding the youth towards Your truth and love.
Father, we also ask for Your presence and revelation to be abundantly clear in ###'s life. As it is written in James 1:5, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." Grant ### the wisdom and understanding needed to teach effectively and to lead by example.
Lord, we pray for victory over the battle with nicotine. Your Word assures us in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Provide the strength and determination needed to overcome this addiction, and let Your healing power flow through every aspect of ###'s life.
We also ask for open doors in ministry, as Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 16:9, "For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries." May You open doors that no man can shut, and may every ministry started by ### grow stronger and bear much fruit for Your Kingdom.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
