| Prayers for the youth and marriages – 1 Nov 2008 | |
| Lord we thank you for the amazing things that are going to take place in the generations to come. Right now as we pray for the youths throughout the world we pray that ever youth would be able to see your amazing plans. Lord, the world is going to be a different place. It is going to be shaken because of what You are going to do. We pray for generations of youths that will break away from traditional ties that restrict the Word of God from spreading. In the name of Jesus we pray that the Word of God would spread like wild fire. We pray for amazing youths that will speak and stun the wisest of men. May kings and leaders bow their knees to You Lord through the lives of the next generation. In Jesus name we pray, amen. | Father, we pray for Your streams of overflowing water to be poured upon every marriage. As the world continues to battle the current economic crisis, we pray for marriages to strength, to grow closer, and may more marriages turn to You for help, guidance, and we pray against lies of the enemy. It saddens my heart to see men and women take their lives because of losing money. Father, in the name of Jesus we pray for the gift of mercy to overflow right now. Bring peace to our hearts O Lord. Father, there is only one that stand firm, one that stands solid through the storm. For all marriages that do not know You Lord, we pray that through this storm they may find You O Lord. In Jesus name we pray, amen. © 2008 Shaun Lee |

| Finding the right balance As I begin my new series on finding the right balance, the bases to this series is simply recognizing that having a balanced life can only come from the Lord. I hope we will be able to unravel, bring to surface all of our imbalances. Why? The purpose for this series is not to make us feel worst, feel like we are losers, but instead, for us to continually draw closer to God. In my opinion imbalances in life are important to recognize and address. If people have to continually TOLERATE our imbalances it means something. It is time we seek God, and ask Him how we can be most effective for the Some of the main topics that I will address are: Insecurities, emotional rollercoaster, attention seeking, hyper spiritual, fragile heart-“I need to be rescued”, insensitivity, and many more. Today, I hope we would humble our hearts and ask God to reveal to us our character. What are the positives and what are the opposite. Maybe we are overusing our strengths? Whatever God reveals it is between you and God. Don’t ever let people put you down because of your imbalances. God is our judge, not man. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. © 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com |

| Prayers for the youth and marriages – 31 Oct 2008 Isaiah 40:31 But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. | |
| Father, though our prayers may be repetitive we pray that our prayers would be heard by You. We pray that our prayers would make an impact for the Father we pray for generations of youth who would always walk in confidence in You and not in anything else. We pray for generational shakers who would stand up for righteousness, who would lead by righteousness, who would care, love, and be selfless. Father, we exalt your name because of what is going to happen in this world in the years to come through every youth. In your name we pray for your glory to shine forever. In Jesus name we pray, amen. © 2008 Shaun Lee | We pray against complacency and a lack of diligence. Father, in this day and age we see many marriages that lack value, lack respect, and lack a strong relationship with You Lord. Father, we pray for hearts willing to change, willing to learn how to work on their marriage. We pray for marriages with a focus on wanting to care and see more of God’s glory in their lives. Father, if there are any dead marriages right now in your name we pray for life, awaken dry bones O Lord. Father, we pray that your name would be worshiped and praised because of marriages centered and founded in You. We pray for great testimonies that will be shared throughout the world because of God centered marriages. We thank you Lord. In Jesus name we pray, amen. |

| God blesses-Stop Doubting Our Lord Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. I hope that today’s words of encouragement would encourage us to STOP!! doubting God. Do we doubt that God would bless us through our difficult situation? Do we doubt God in all aspects of our lives? What is it that you doubt about God? We need to put a stop to doubt. In my opinion if we continuously doubt God, we are no longer mastered by God. Doubt is a lack of trust in God. Disbelief, hesitation, uncertainty, and skepticism. Today, let us lay the right and solid foundation in our hearts. On that is based on Trust, faith, certainty why because of God’s promises. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. © 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com |

Psalm 119:72 The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold. | |
| Every child has been molded and created by You for a unique purpose. Lord, we pray today for greater revelation. We pray that youths throughout the world would choose to follow your plans versus following the norm and what the world considers stable and successful.
Father we pray that the youth of this generation and the next would be marked and known similar to Joshua and Caleb. They saw differently from the rest. They looked beyond the giants. They looked beyond their weaknesses. In Jesus name we pray for young men and women who would choose to follow You above all else. In Your name we pray, amen.
© 2008 Shaun Lee | For every marriage centered in You today we thank you Lord. We pray for Your continued strength. We pray that these marriages would be surrendered to You always. We pray against spiritual pride. We pray against small vision. In the name of Jesus we pray for marriages with big faith, good vision, and focus.
It is easy to lose faith, it is easy to have cloudy vision and lose focus. God we pray that You would remain our director, conductor, and the head of our household.
In Jesus name we pray for more marriages centered in the will of God. In Jesus name we pray, amen. |

| The Lord blesses the simple hearted Jesus was a carpenter. Peter and John were uneducated but made one of the biggest impacts for the Acts 14:13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say. Today, what are you after in life? Why are you after that in life? What is it going to do for the The Lord blesses the simple hearted. Why? Because they only want to accomplish and see God’s will accomplished. The simple hearted have a simple but effective strategy. They could careless about being rich. They could careless about the latest sports car on the market. They use every opportunity to glorify God, including the current economic crisis. Never ever despise the simple hearted and never ever despise being ordinary. God can use anyone! Today, if you feel marginalized because of being simple at heart. Do not lose faith. The Lord blesses and uses the simple. He uses the simple to shame the wise, greatest, biggest, and most powerful. Watch and see the Lord at work! Come On!!! 1 Corinthians 1:19 For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate. © 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com |

| Father, we pray that your children today would continue to strive for excellence. Not to impress people, parents, or selfish gain. But they would strive for excellence, because they are sons and daughters of God. Father, we pray that your children today would strive for everything that You have given them. With the Word of God leading and guiding them. Lord we pray for more than worldly knowledge. In the name of Jesus your sons and daughters will standout today because of Christ that lives in them, because of the Word of God that lives in them, and because they choose to die to their cross daily.

| God blesses those He corrects Jeremiah 10:23 (Message) I know, God, that mere mortals can’t run their own lives, that men and women don’t have what it takes to take charge of life. So correct us, God, as you see best. God’s Words in Jeremiah 10:23 are very clear. We cannot run our own lives without God. We need God to correct us. God blesses those He corrects. But do we hate correction? The word of God says in Proverbs 12:1 He who hates correction is stupid. Today I pray for two things. Firstly, for humility. We need humility in order to surrender and accept correction. Secondly, for teachable hearts. In my opinion it is only when we are teachable that we can learn and implement God’s correction. Without a teachable heart, we are still acting in OUR OWN ACCORD. Proverbs 15:32 He who ignores discipline despises himself. I pray against our stubborn attitude, our unwillingness to change. When we ignore discipline we are actually despising ourselves. I hope and pray we are ready to receive God’s blessings through correction. © 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com |

| Father we pray that every youth would guard and protect their hearts right now. We pray that they would treasure their lives as much as You treasure our O Lord. We pray specifically for every young couple right now in middle school, high school, and university. Father, open their eyes and reveal to them what is righteous and what is not. We pray that the gift of moral abstinence would be revealed in their hearts right now. We break anything that is hidden. We pray for children who would not hide from their parents their darkest secrets. Instead we pray for great relationships to take place between father and son, mother and daughter. In Jesus name we pray, amen. © 2008 Shaun Lee | Lord, we lift up every marriage to you right now. We pray against tiredness, against quick temperedness. Right now we pray that strong foundations will be laid. We pray for good seeds to fall on good soil right now. We pray that couples would take ownership of their marriage. We pray for greater humility. We pray against pride, stubbornness, and anger. We pray that You O Lord would reveal your perfect plan made through every marriage. Lord, we finally pray that you would guard and protect our mouths that we would speak out of love that comes from the Lord. Help us not curse those that you Love. In your name, amen. |

| God blesses when we are desperate for Him For many of us 2008 has been a difficult year. The finanical crisis has been a big part of it. But illness, loved ones falling sick, and even the number of earthquakes that occured this year. God is allowing earth to be shaken right now for a reason. God is allowing our familes to be shaken through illness, and even our personal lives all for a reason. How desperate are we for God. When our loved ones are faced with death, there comes a point in our lives when we realize that we are out of control. And if you don’t know Jesus that is a very scary feeling. Even through death God blesses. Even through the desparate hours of not having anything, God still blesses. I hope we would be encouraged to know that God is with us even through the darkest hours. Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. © 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com |

| Prayers for the youth and marriages – 27 Oct 2008 Psalm 128:2 You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours. | |
| Lord we claim this verse over the youth if this generation and the generations to come. We pray for diligent hands. Hands that will be used effectively for the Father, we pray against shortcuts in life. We pray that your children would desire hard work, giving their best, and aiming high. Not because of good results, not because they want to make money, but because they want to be used by You Lord. We thank you for the discipline that is going to take place right now. We pray that firm foundations will be built right now in every youth. We praise and lift your name on high. In Jesus name we pray, amen. © 2008 Shaun Lee | Father we thank you for the gift of responsibility right now for every husband/father and for every wife/mother.

| God blesses even the small things Is it hard for you to enjoy the little things in life? Maybe for the first time in a long time you were able to have a peaceful dinner with your family. Maybe your child uttered his/her first words last night, or took his/her first steps by themselves. In some countries these blessings are a luxury. Death is a certainty. I hope that we would relook and evaluate all that God has done for us. Hopefully we would be able to be a blessing to others because of all that God has done. As God blesses us we in turn can bless others who are worst off than us. Burried in our hearts are many of us wanting to serve the community and make a difference. What is stopping you? There are many sick people that need to be encouraged. There are many orphans that need guidance. There are many elderly that need to just talk. Today, I hope we would take the time to thank God for the little things that God has done. I hope we would realize that in our eyes they maybe little but in the years to come they could be big blessings. Deuteronomy 28:1 If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. © 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com |

| Lord almighty, we pray for rest right now to be poured on every child. It seems like educational standards just keeps getting harder and harder as children get younger and younger. Lord, today we pray that every child would remember and burry in their hearts that they are defined and made by You. Education is important but it does not define who you are. God does. Lord, it saddens me to see young children with white hair, stressed because of school, and lost because they don’t know what they were made to do in life. In Jesus name we pray for vision and direction. In the name of Jesus we pray for peace in every child. We pray for rest and good sleep. In Jesus name we pray, amen. Exodus 33:14 My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest. | Lord today we pray for the spirit of joy to be poured on every marriage. Where there has been spiritual drought, anger, strife, fighting, bitterness, we pray that You would bring restoration through the spirit of joy. Father we claim your blessings right now. We pray for more joy in our families and our households. In the name of Jesus we pray that the enemy will have no foothold of our joy. Lord, you are greater that the enemy and we thank you for the joy that is going to take place. In Jesus name we pray, amen. Psalm 16:11 You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. © 2008 Shaun Lee |

| God’s blessings As I start on a new series titled, God’s blessings, I sense that many of us including myself will be able to receive a refreshing and a new found passion for serving and living for God. God wants bless us with His best. However, we may have been blinded and are unable to see clearly what God has been trying to show us. God’s blessings comes in all different forms. Today I hope that we would be able to recognzie that God blesses us by protecting. We may not get what we want and desire, but years later we will realize that God protected us. Let us be thankful. God we thank you for your protection. Humble us Lord as we lay captive our desires, wants, and needs. We die to our cross today and forever. In Your name we pray, amen. Psalm 20:1 May the Lord answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. © 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com |
