Prayer Focus: Faith for a Generation
Psalm 127:3 (NLT) Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.
Seeing the next generation not just attend the church but to be excited about Jesus and their church. That is so exciting!
It’s fun to see our BLC Kids check in on Sunday. They are raising a generation.
I can’t wait to see how God leads us as we also pray for our student and youth ministry.
I can’t wait to see how God will lead us to someday begin a college and career ministry.
We want to cover the next generation in prayer and believe they are in God’s hands. We want to raise them up.
Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. This is true of the next generation. Greater is He that is in the next generation than he that is in the world.
1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV) 12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
How do we pray for the next generation? We will pray in these ways for our next generation:
1. Grow in their character.
Sunday morning is great. Youth nights are great. But I pray that we will see a rise in small groups for our youth where they can drill down deeper in their spiritual life.
1 Timothy 4:14 (NIV) 14 Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you.
2. Grow in their charisma.
I think Growth Track is good for our teens. It’s not just for adults. This is a great opportunity for our teens to explore what God has for them.
We have our GT on Monday, February 7, 2022
1 Timothy 4:16 (NIV) 16 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
3. Grow in their calling.
Pray that our youth will grow in understanding the calling that God may have on them.
Pray that they will truly discover their purpose and begin serving!
When we pray for the next generation, God is going to move!
