Today I want to pray for
our children and our youth.
00:00:31.96\00:00:35.16
Satan is very busy
trying to hurt our young people,
00:00:35.20\00:00:37.93
whether it's
mentally, physically,
00:00:37.97\00:00:40.17
or maybe just
keeping them too busy
00:00:40.20\00:00:41.94
to make time for God.
00:00:41.97\00:00:43.87
Matthew 18 is a reminder for me.
00:00:43.91\00:00:46.27
It's talking
about when the disciples
00:00:46.31\00:00:47.64
were wanting to know
00:00:47.68\00:00:49.01
who was going to be
the greatest among them.
00:00:49.04\00:00:51.68
Verse 5 says,
"Assuredly I say to you,
00:00:51.71\00:00:54.05
unless you are converted
and become as little children,
00:00:54.08\00:00:57.75
you will by no means
enter the kingdom of heaven.
00:00:57.79\00:01:00.06
Therefore,
whoever humbles himself
00:01:00.09\00:01:02.06
as this little child
is the greatest in heaven.
00:01:02.09\00:01:05.79
Whoever receives one
little child like this
00:01:05.83\00:01:08.73
in My name receives Me."
00:01:08.76\00:01:11.87
And then later on, Jesus says,
00:01:11.90\00:01:13.84
"Woe to the person who
causes them to stumble."
00:01:13.87\00:01:17.14
Satan is always on the attack.
00:01:17.17\00:01:19.21
God wants us to teach
our young people and children
00:01:19.24\00:01:22.74
to know more
about Him and to focus
00:01:22.78\00:01:25.05
and take time to study His Word.
00:01:25.08\00:01:27.75
Jesus loves me,
00:01:36.19\00:01:39.29
this I know
00:01:39.33\00:01:42.10
For the Bible tells me
00:01:42.13\00:01:46.13
so Little ones to Him
00:01:46.17\00:01:51.37
belong They are weak,
00:01:51.41\00:01:56.54
but He is strong
00:01:56.58\00:02:01.45
Yes,
00:02:01.48\00:02:03.62
Jesus loves me
00:02:03.65\00:02:08.29
Yes,
00:02:08.32\00:02:09.99
Jesus loves me
00:02:10.03\00:02:14.90
Yes,
00:02:14.93\00:02:17.37
Jesus loves me
00:02:17.40\00:02:21.60
The Bible tells me
00:02:21.64\00:02:27.58
So
00:02:27.61\00:02:33.55
Our Father in heaven,
00:02:33.58\00:02:35.52
I come before You lifting
up our children and our youth.
00:02:35.55\00:02:41.42
As I look around,
00:02:41.46\00:02:42.79
I see more and more
of our kids searching
00:02:42.82\00:02:45.49
for answers during these
times of turmoil and heartache.
00:02:45.53\00:02:51.03
I pray that Your saving grace
00:02:51.07\00:02:54.60
will be the
answer that they see.
00:02:54.64\00:02:57.54
Work through me, Lord,
00:02:57.57\00:02:59.24
that I may be an
example of Your saving grace,
00:02:59.27\00:03:03.71
and help me to
show Your love to those
00:03:03.75\00:03:06.21
I come in contact with.
00:03:06.25\00:03:09.12
I know that Your heartache
must be great each time a child
00:03:09.15\00:03:12.69
strays from Your family,
00:03:12.72\00:03:14.79
and how much You long for them
00:03:14.82\00:03:16.42
to take hold of Your
extended hand of love
00:03:16.46\00:03:19.53
to bring them
back into the fold.
00:03:19.56\00:03:22.50
Lord, may each
one of these youth
00:03:22.53\00:03:25.20
and young children
00:03:25.23\00:03:26.80
see Your hand
reaching out to them.
00:03:26.84\00:03:30.74
I pray that they
will take Your hand.
00:03:30.77\00:03:34.21
Thank you, Father.
00:03:34.24\00:03:35.61
Heavenly Father, we come
before Your throne of grace
00:03:40.12\00:03:42.48
to find mercy and
help for our children
00:03:42.52\00:03:44.45
and youth in a time of need.
00:03:44.49\00:03:47.16
Oh Lord, may these
young ones come to know You
00:03:47.19\00:03:50.96
as their loving Father.
00:03:50.99\00:03:53.03
Oh, Lord, put a
hedge of protection
00:03:53.06\00:03:55.40
around them and
keep them from evil.
00:03:55.43\00:03:58.23
Oh, Lord, please
fulfill Your promises
00:03:58.27\00:04:01.54
and Your
purposes in their lives.
00:04:01.57\00:04:04.47
We ask this in
the name of Jesus.
00:04:04.51\00:04:07.08
Amen.
00:04:07.11\00:04:08.44
Father in heaven,
we lift up the children
00:04:12.01\00:04:13.82
and youth of the church.
00:04:13.85\00:04:15.78
We know that they
struggle with things
00:04:15.82\00:04:17.82
and there's a lot
of things in their life
00:04:17.85\00:04:19.75
that can be hard to deal with.
00:04:19.79\00:04:21.12
But, Lord, we ask
that You preserve them,
00:04:21.16\00:04:23.53
give them strength
and give them a boldness
00:04:23.56\00:04:25.99
to share the gospel.
00:04:26.03\00:04:27.36
Whether that's with
their friends or family,
00:04:27.40\00:04:29.50
maybe even strangers.
00:04:29.53\00:04:31.23
But God, right now
we want to lift them up
00:04:31.27\00:04:33.00
because we know that
00:04:33.03\00:04:34.37
since they are the
future of the church,
00:04:34.40\00:04:35.90
they will be the
ones to help finish
00:04:35.94\00:04:37.91
the work so that you may return.
00:04:37.94\00:04:40.58
God, we thank You so much
00:04:40.61\00:04:41.94
for what You're
going to do in their lives
00:04:41.98\00:04:43.91
and what You're continuing
to do in their lives right now.
00:04:43.95\00:04:46.98
Thank You, Lord.
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:04:47.02\00:04:49.42
Jesus loves me
00:04:54.29\00:04:57.39
He who died Heaven's gate
00:04:57.43\00:05:02.83
To open wide
00:05:02.86\00:05:06.63
He will wash
00:05:06.67\00:05:09.34
Away my sin
00:05:09.37\00:05:13.07
And let his little child
00:05:13.11\00:05:17.65
Come in
00:05:17.68\00:05:22.55
Jesus loves me
00:05:22.58\00:05:25.02
This I know As He loved
00:05:25.05\00:05:29.79
So long ago Taking children
00:05:29.82\00:05:35.56
On His knee Saying
00:05:35.60\00:05:40.14
Let them come
00:05:40.17\00:05:43.44
To Me Yes,
00:05:43.47\00:05:47.18
Jesus loves me Yes,
00:05:47.21\00:05:52.88
Jesus loves me
00:05:52.91\00:05:58.45
Yes,
00:05:58.49\00:06:00.46
Jesus loves me
00:06:00.49\00:06:05.59
For the Bible
00:06:05.63\00:06:09.16
Tells me
00:06:09.20\00:06:12.67
So
00:06:12.70\00:06:17.97
Our Father in heaven, Lord,
00:06:18.01\00:06:20.28
we thank You Lord
for another day of life,
00:06:20.31\00:06:23.88
health and strength.
00:06:23.91\00:06:25.91
Lord, right now, my
prayers for the young people,
00:06:25.95\00:06:30.09
the children.
00:06:30.12\00:06:32.35
Father, we know
that You have a path
00:06:32.39\00:06:34.56
laid out for them.
00:06:34.59\00:06:36.46
I pray, Lord,
00:06:36.49\00:06:37.83
that they will
let go of the things
00:06:37.86\00:06:39.23
that are holding
them down to this world,
00:06:39.26\00:06:43.06
their music,
their entertainment,
00:06:43.10\00:06:46.60
their dress, things
of this world, Lord,
00:06:46.63\00:06:49.74
that they will
look to You and be safe.
00:06:49.77\00:06:52.84
You have a future
and a hope for them.
00:06:52.87\00:06:55.31
You said to remember the Creator
00:06:55.34\00:06:56.95
in the days of thy youth.
00:06:56.98\00:06:59.08
I pray that they
will remember You.
00:06:59.11\00:07:01.95
And, Lord, we ask that
You'll save our children.
00:07:01.98\00:07:05.59
And we thank You
for Your promises
00:07:05.62\00:07:08.02
in Jesus' name.
00:07:08.06\00:07:09.39
Amen.
00:07:09.42\00:07:13.13
Our Father in heaven,
00:07:13.16\00:07:14.73
I lift up a
prayer for our youth.
00:07:14.76\00:07:17.73
These young precious children
are indeed a gift from You.
00:07:17.77\00:07:22.17
In the world we live in today,
00:07:22.20\00:07:24.37
it has become
more and more evident
00:07:24.41\00:07:26.27
that the enemy seeks to distract
00:07:26.31\00:07:28.54
and destroy these young people.
00:07:28.58\00:07:31.38
Father, I ask
that You protect them,
00:07:31.41\00:07:35.12
put Your angels around them,
00:07:35.15\00:07:37.65
lead them by the
power of Your Spirit
00:07:37.69\00:07:39.85
to seek You and to
find You in these last days.
00:07:39.89\00:07:45.83
Give us the
spiritual mind of Christ
00:07:45.86\00:07:48.86
to be a good example
for the youth of this age.
00:07:48.90\00:07:52.93
We placed them in Your hands,
oh, Lord, and in Your care,
00:07:52.97\00:07:57.51
for it is in confidence
00:07:57.54\00:07:59.04
and in the name
of Jesus we pray.
00:07:59.07\00:08:01.58
Amen.
00:08:01.61\00:08:02.94
3 John 1:4 says,
00:08:06.38\00:08:10.19
"I have no
greater joy than to hear
00:08:10.22\00:08:12.12
My children are
walking in the truth."
00:08:12.15\00:08:16.49
Father, we want
to bring You joy.
00:08:16.52\00:08:20.80
We want to have
joy in our own lives.
00:08:20.83\00:08:23.73
And we know that
this can only be obtained
00:08:23.77\00:08:26.53
by walking in Your truth.
00:08:26.57\00:08:28.27
So we as Your children
want to be obedient to You.
00:08:28.30\00:08:34.28
Thank You for
keeping us in that truth.
00:08:34.31\00:08:37.35
Thank You.
00:08:39.85\00:08:41.18
Thank You for Your Spirit
that gives us the direction
00:08:41.22\00:08:45.99
and keeps us and protects us.
00:08:46.02\00:08:48.22
James 1:17 says,
00:08:50.99\00:08:54.26
"Every good and perfect gift
00:08:54.30\00:08:55.70
is from above coming down
00:08:55.73\00:08:57.07
from the Father of
the heavenly lights,
00:08:57.10\00:08:59.73
who does not change
like shifting shadows."
00:08:59.77\00:09:02.44
Lord, I want to thank
You that You are my Father.
00:09:04.87\00:09:08.58
God, You are my
Father, Jehovah God.
00:09:08.61\00:09:13.45
And just like children
00:09:13.48\00:09:16.38
on special
occasions receiving gifts.
00:09:16.42\00:09:20.92
Lord, we love You,
00:09:20.96\00:09:22.29
and we thank You for
the gifts that you Give.
00:09:22.32\00:09:24.69
We thank You that
You are a good God.
00:09:24.73\00:09:26.23
And we thank You that every good
00:09:26.26\00:09:27.70
and perfect gift comes from You.
00:09:27.73\00:09:30.37
And I receive,
receive those gifts.
00:09:33.50\00:09:37.94
I do. I receive those.
00:09:37.97\00:09:41.38
I pray for
those who are watching
00:09:41.41\00:09:44.11
that they would
receive those gifts.
00:09:44.15\00:09:48.45
Father, that You would
give those gifts to them, Lord.
00:09:48.48\00:09:53.76
You know what they need.
00:09:53.79\00:09:55.12
Proverbs 17:6 says,
00:10:00.76\00:10:03.37
"Children's children
are a crown to the aged
00:10:03.40\00:10:07.10
and parents are the
pride of their children."
00:10:07.14\00:10:11.14
Father, I thank
You for grandchildren,
00:10:11.17\00:10:16.01
even though I don't have my own.
00:10:16.04\00:10:19.05
I thank You for those
who are watching viewers
00:10:19.08\00:10:22.38
that talk about
their grandchildren
00:10:22.42\00:10:25.72
with delight
00:10:25.75\00:10:27.56
and, Lord, I pray for
those who are watching,
00:10:27.59\00:10:30.76
who have grandchildren,
00:10:30.79\00:10:32.13
who are not in
the fold who have,
00:10:32.16\00:10:35.63
who have maybe have gone astray.
00:10:35.66\00:10:37.50
Lord, I know what a...
00:10:37.53\00:10:39.63
A broken heart that can,
00:10:39.67\00:10:41.87
that can mean to someone
00:10:41.90\00:10:45.24
who so desperately wants to see
00:10:45.27\00:10:46.71
their children and
their grandchildren
00:10:46.74\00:10:48.68
in the fold.
00:10:52.51\00:10:54.15
Who want to see them saved.
00:10:54.18\00:10:56.99
So, Lord, I just
ask God that it is You.
00:10:57.02\00:10:59.35
I know it is You that draws men,
00:10:59.39\00:11:02.99
the Holy Spirit
draws men to God.
00:11:03.02\00:11:06.90
So I just ask in
Jesus' name that Holy Spirit,
00:11:06.93\00:11:10.83
you would do your work
00:11:10.87\00:11:14.87
and draw all men to you.
00:11:14.90\00:11:17.27
I want to pray for deliverance.
00:11:20.88\00:11:23.78
We have a viewer who
has written and says,
00:11:23.81\00:11:27.22
"I'm asking a prayer
of comfort for my dad,
00:11:27.25\00:11:29.98
my siblings and me
during this time of grief.
00:11:30.02\00:11:34.02
We lost our mom
to a terrible virus.
00:11:34.06\00:11:36.26
And it's so painful
to cope at this time."
00:11:36.29\00:11:39.66
Father, for
those who are suffering
00:11:39.69\00:11:43.10
the loss of loved ones,
00:11:43.13\00:11:45.37
there's never a
good time for that.
00:11:48.84\00:11:50.44
And yet we know that
it's appointed unto man
00:11:50.47\00:11:52.44
once to die.
00:11:52.47\00:11:56.31
But Father, I just
ask that You will comfort
00:11:56.34\00:12:00.42
those who are grieving,
00:12:00.45\00:12:02.85
grieving the loss of loved ones.
00:12:02.88\00:12:05.05
Be their comfort, Lord.
00:12:08.16\00:12:09.49
Someone says,
00:12:12.66\00:12:14.50
please pray for
my business troubles
00:12:14.53\00:12:16.30
and my finances to be blessed.
00:12:16.33\00:12:19.13
Please pray for my health.
00:12:19.17\00:12:21.00
Lord, we thank You
that You have given us
00:12:23.64\00:12:25.34
the ability to make wealth.
00:12:25.37\00:12:29.11
Lord, You have
blessed us with work,
00:12:29.14\00:12:31.91
with a desire to work.
00:12:31.95\00:12:34.98
And I pray for
this one specifically,
00:12:35.02\00:12:37.72
but also anyone who is watching,
00:12:37.75\00:12:40.19
who is in a business
that they need Your touch.
00:12:40.22\00:12:45.59
Lord, they need Your,
00:12:45.63\00:12:47.76
they need Your
hand to work a miracle,
00:12:47.80\00:12:49.73
Lord, in their
business for financial reasons.
00:12:49.76\00:12:52.03
So I just ask in Jesus' name,
00:12:56.07\00:12:58.84
Lord, that You would bless
00:12:58.87\00:13:02.94
these business owners
00:13:02.98\00:13:08.05
and bless all workers.
00:13:08.08\00:13:11.29
We thank You,
Lord, that You love us.
00:13:11.32\00:13:13.05
I want you to
continue to join me
00:13:18.73\00:13:21.50
as we pray for our children,
00:13:21.53\00:13:26.13
that they will call on God,
00:13:26.17\00:13:29.17
that no one will hinder
them from coming to Him,
00:13:29.20\00:13:32.47
that they will respond
in faith to Jesus' faithful,
00:13:32.51\00:13:37.45
persistent call
00:13:37.48\00:13:38.81
that their
thoughts will be pure.
00:13:38.85\00:13:42.35
Thank you for joining us.
00:13:42.38\00:13:44.19
