Sunday July 20 – Preparation for worship/ Prayer for children’s ministry
2014 Summer of Prayer
Come and worship
Read Psalm 34:1-18
Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
What man is there who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good? Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. vv. 11-12,14
We exalt You today Lord because Your loving-kindness endures through all generations. Prepare our hearts to worship You.
Confession
Ask the Lord to show you anything that has been allowed to remain in your life or in your heart that may hinder you from entering fully into worship in the gathering today.
Ask God
To guide parents in boldly instructing their children in God’s Word and promises.
For wisdom and Godly character to be formed early in their lives and reinforced through their teen years.
For a whole-hearted commitment to Christ in kids and youth, and a willingness to stand against the grain of our culture.
Prayer for Imprint ministry
Pray for continuing growth in the youth ministry and an expanding vision for the leaders as more teens come. Pray for health in the program and a deepening faith in our youth. Pray that the Lord would continue to raise up and develop teachers and leaders in the children’s ministry who have a love for children and a passion to see them grow in Christ.
