Let us join together in praying for the youth in your community, that God would indeed cover them with His favor. We are reminded in Proverbs 10:12 that "Love covers all wrongs," and God's love for these young people is immense. We pray that His love would shield them from the temptations and snares of this world.
In Ephesians 6:10-11 WEB, "Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil," we know this would give them strength to be examples for Christ.
We also know throughout Psalm 91:4 WEB, "He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart." We pray this over them and encourage you to share this Psalm with them.
As we pray, we also encourage you to share the full gospel of Jesus Christ with these youth. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God. We must teach the children the importance of a relationship with Jesus Christ. We know from Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
We pray for courage and guidance, that they would live lives that honor God and seek His will. Let us come together in unity and pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up the youth in this community to You. Cover them with Your favor and protection. Guide them in the path of righteousness, and help them to resist the temptations of this world. Give them the courage to stand firm in their faith and be examples for Christ.
Lord, we pray that they would come to know You personally. We pray for a hedge of protection around them, keeping them from the snares of the enemy. Help them to grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with You and man.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Continue to intercede for these young people, and trust that God is at work in their lives. Be encouraged by the words of James 5:16 WEB, "The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much."
