Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up the prayer request of Gretchen. We ask, Lord, that you would pour out your Spirit upon the young people of our church as they gather together tonight. May they encounter Jesus in a powerful and transformative way. Touch their hearts, Lord, and draw them closer to you.
We specifically pray for those who will be coming to hear your word. Open their hearts and minds to receive your truth and love. Let your word penetrate deep within them, bringing conviction, healing, and salvation. May they experience the life-changing power of your gospel.
We also lift up the youth pastors and elders of our church who will be leading these young people. Grant them wisdom, discernment, and anointing as they guide and teach. Fill them with your Holy Spirit, empowering them to effectively minister and point these young souls to Christ.
Lord, we know that it is only through your Spirit that hearts are transformed and lives are changed. We ask that you would move mightily in this gathering, bringing revival and renewal among the youth of our church. May they be filled with your love, joy, and peace.
We thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for your faithfulness. We trust in your power to work in the lives of these young people and to bring them into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
