We are so grateful to lift up this vital prayer request for our youth. In a world that pulls their attention in countless directions, it is crucial that they are drawn to the Word of God, which is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword Psalm 149 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up the youth of this generation. Lord, we ask that You instill in them a hunger and a thirst for Your Word. May they find their delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night Psalm 1:2 WEB.
Father, we pray that the youth will not be conformed to this world, but will be transformed by the renewing of their minds, so that they may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God Romans 12:2 WEB. May they understand that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God Romans 10:17 WEB.
We rebuke the distractions and temptations that the enemy uses to keep the youth away from Your Word. May they see that Your commandments are not burdensome 1 John 5:3 WEB, but are a lamp to their feet and a light to their path Psalm 119:105 WEB.
Lord, we also pray for those who requested this prayer. We ask the Holy Spirit to intercede on their behalf. May they experience a renewed passion and commitment to the Word of God themselves. May they feel the pleasure of Christ and not the pleasure of men and women. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. Let us not forget, there is no other name by which we can be saved. As we read in Acts 4:12, 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.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, knowing that God's Word never returns void, but accomplishes what He desires and achieves the purpose for which He sent it Isaiah 55:11 WEB. Keep interceding for the youth, and trust that God is at work in their hearts and minds.
