Meditate on Proverbs 20:29 NLT
« The glory of the young is their strength; the gray hair of experience & wisdom is the splendor of the old »
1 So remember your Creator while you are still young, before those dismal days and years come when you will say, “I don’t enjoy life.”
2 That is when the light of the sun, the moon, and the stars will grow dim for you, and the rain clouds will never pass away.
3 Then your arms, that have protected you, will tremble, and your legs, now strong, will grow weak. Your teeth will be too few to chew your food, and your eyes too dim to see clearly.
4 Your ears will be deaf to the noise of the street. You will barely be able to hear the mill as it grinds or music as it plays, but even the song of a bird will wake you from sleep.
5 You will be afraid of high places, and walking will be dangerous. Your hair will turn white; you will hardly be able to drag yourself along, and all desire will be gone. We are going to our final resting place, and then there will be mourning in the streets.
6 The silver chain will snap, and the golden lamp will fall and break; the rope at the well will break, and the water jar will be shattered.
7 Our bodies will return to the dust of the earth, and the breath of life will go back to God, who gave it to us.
1. Lord, we thank You for our youths and pray that as You raised David to be King, please raise youths who will lead righteously in Jesus’ name.
2. Father, please help our youths to fear You and to say no to unrighteousness. Let them stand for the truth and righteousness always, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, send help to all our youths; help them spiritually, financially, mentally, economically, and in every way. Let our youths have all that they need to fulfil their destiny, oh Lord.
4. Father, we cover all our youths with the blood of Jesus. we will not bury our youths, in Jesus’ name. we cancel every plan of the enemy to kill our youths, in Jesus’ name.
5. Father, please protect our youths from the decadence of this generation, in Jesus’s name.
6. Lord, help our youths to submit to authority and training so that they would be prepared for their glorious future, in the mighty name of Jesus.
7. Father, we lift our youths to You; they will not be evil doers in Jesus’ name. They will not out trouble the nation and its progress, in Jesus’ name.
8. Father, You said in Your word that the glory of the youth is in their strength. Lord, let the youths use their strength to serve You. Don’t let them give their glory to the devil, Lord.
9. Father, You said in Your word that our young men will see visions. I pray for every visionless youth now, that You give such a vision- one that will draw them closer to You, far away from the devil and sin.
10. Father, amongst the youths, please raise prayer warriors, great evangelist, great men and women of God, who will serve You with all their hearts.
11. Father, we frustrate every agenda of the devil to lead our youths astray- whether it is through bad friends, the media or any others means, the agenda of the devil is frustrated now, in Jesus’ name.
12. Your personal prayer point for the youths, especially those close to you.
THANKSGIVING Father, thank You for the youths. Thank You for all that You have been doing through them in the body of Christ and all the industries in our nation.
