Let us bring this request before the Lord, seeking His will and His protection.
Firstly, we pray for God's shelter during the storms. As it says in Psalm 91:9-10 WEB Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, neither shall any plague come near your tent. This is a promise we can hold on to, trusting that God will protect us from hail and damage. Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up this plea for protection. Shield us from the storms, and keep us safe from hail and damage. We trust in Your promise, as written in Psalm 91 that no evil shall befall us when we place you Lord as our refuge and our dwelling place. Protect each one of us in the storm. Let Your mighty hand be a covering over our homes and families. Thank you Lord for Your protection. Give us peace in these storms knowing that You are with us. We are praying all of this in Jesus name so we can have confidence.
Now, concerning the young man mentioned, we are encouraged to hear of the desire for him to walk in the paths of righteousness and ask him to keep company with a good friend. As it is written in Proverbs 22:1 WEB: A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold. Loving favor more than silver and gold certainly includes keeping from drinking, from dope, and from wild girls. We are to flee from sexual immorality as 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 WEB states: and to flee sexual immorality because every sin that a man can commit is outside the body; but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. Therefore, let us pray:
Heavenly Father,
We bring this young man before You, asking that You keep him from the temptations of this world. Turn his heart toward You and to good godly friends, Lord. Keep him from drinking, from dope, and from wild girls as he is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Let him be an example to his peers, a light in this world and not a wild boy. Lead him to college, Lord, and guide him toward a good job. May he be blessed in his life and become a blessing to others. May he find a godly spouse in your timing. Draw him to Your church and to Your people. Guide him to our church group to know You Lord and to grow in the knowledge of You.
Father, we also lift up the one who submitted this request. We pray that You guide them in their walk with You, that You grant them wisdom and discernment as they pray for others. We pray that You fill their heart with Your love and Your peace. We ask that You help them speak Your truth into the life of this young man.
Finally, we must address that the request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Therefore remember that it is only In Jesus Name we pray.
We pray all of this together in Jesus Name, Amen
