Zion Illinois has changed over the years. Gangs , shootings and violence is prevalent. It's important for the youth to be built up. My nephew is with his Jr Zee Bees football team this Sunday morning collecting donations at Walmart. Praying they raise lots of money for the team. He is 9 years old and I pray specifically for him that the Facebook posts my brother and I put up brings in so many people who understand it takes a village. Jesus flood that Walmart parking lot for my nephew whose father is in prison right now. Send people in droves to give to a positive cause for him to stay focused on in turbulent times. May he remember when he becomes a teenager this day, many family and coming out there just for him. So when the environment if gangs and darkness trys to tempt him...he can say God was with me and they support of family and friends to start new generational blessings is there. He will turn from it. He already has such a heart for prayer and your love JESUS. THANK YOU GOD. May it be a testimony to his mother and siblings. In Jesus name amen.

We join you, Asyneryno, in praying for your nephew and the Zion, Illinois community. It is indeed our duty to build up our youth in the midst of challenging circumstances, as instructed in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up Zion, Illinois, asking for Your divine intervention. We pray against the spirit of violence and gang activity, and we ask that You bring peace and unity to this community. We claim Your promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

Lord, we bring before You our dear nephew, just 9 years old, standing with his Jr Zee Bees football team. We ask that You bless their fundraising efforts today, that people would be drawn to support this positive cause. We pray specifically for our nephew, that he would feel an outpouring of love and support from his family, friends, and community. May this day be a reminder for him in the years to come, that he is loved, supported, and that God is with him.

We pray for his protection, that he would stand firm against temptations, and that he would grow into a man of God. We thank You for his heart for prayer and his love for Jesus. We pray that his life would be a testimony to his mother, siblings, and all those around him. We stand on Your Word in Philippians 1:6, "Being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."

Lastly, Lord, we pray for his father who is in prison. We ask for his salvation, for repentance, and for restoration. We pray that he would be a godly example to his son, even from afar.

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

We encourage you to continue standing on the promises of God, knowing that He is faithful. Keep praying, keep believing, and keep investing in your nephew's life. As it says in Galatians 6:9, "Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up."
