Together in
Prayer?
The Congregational
Prayer Partners for Youth Ministry urges each adult to pray daily
for one of the 15 un-partnered youth on our roll.* We ask you to
use Sign-up central and say, “Here I am!” You will receive
additional written information for your prayerful consideration.
We do not ask you
to attend meetings or make phone calls; we do ask you to speak this
intercessory prayer in your home, your workplace, your car, or
outside, wherever it is that you pray at that given daily moment.
We do not ask you
to stand at Grace in recognition of this praying action; we do ask
that you seek to overflow with happy words telling of God’s
goodness!
We do not ask you
to lead prayer aloud before others at church; we do ask that your
thoughts give praise and thanksgiving to God.
We do not ask you
to recite the “PRAY” bookmark you are encouraged to memorize; we do
ask that you turn toward being unendingly filled with silent prayer.
Youth Prayer:
Heavenly Father, It is a comfort to know someone at Grace church is
thinking and speaking my name in prayer. I ask that you encourage
my partner so they will know how much I appreciate their return to
You and bless this one adult who attempts to pray much for me each
day. I’m sure some days it requires all they have to give and then
some more. Help us to not feel alone at school and work. Draw us
close to you and give us Your strength this given day. In the name
of Jesus, Amen.
Nineteenth century
author, Edward Bounds, reminds all of us, “Satan trembles when he
sees the weakest saint upon his knees.” Every little remembrance of
God is acceptable.
We do not ask you
to take our word for it; we do ask you to take God at His word which
is at work in you who believe! We ask to meet you and share a
letter describing this Grace prayer ministry.
