PRAYER FOR THE YOUTH

Dear Loving heavenly Father, touch our hearts with the gentleness
of your love, that we may know we are valued and valuable beings. Be
with us, as we experience sickness and health, sorrow and joy, loneliness
and friendship, success and failure. Gracious God, give us the courage
and strength to make the right decisions as we journey through life.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit, may we come to know and
experience your loving care. May we learn to walk in spirit and truth and
to trust in Your word, knowing that Your grace in sufficient for all our
needs and requirements.  Keep us we pray from being influenced by the
tempting things of the world and the desires of the sin nature and protect
us from the wiles of the enemy who would seek to disrupt our walk with
You and fellowship with the Father,  Give us grace and wisdom as we
face the challenges of life, and keep us humble in heart and teachable in
spirit and may we learn to look to Jesus day by day knowing that
without Him we can do nothing but in His strength He will lead and
guide in all things.

We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
