Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of gratitude and reverence, lifting up Mr. Foster 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 Mr. Foster'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 Mr. Foster 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 Mr. Foster'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 Mr. Foster grow stronger and bear much fruit for Your Kingdom.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
