Prayers for the youth and marriages ~ 24 May 2009 1 Corinthians 12:26 If one suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it.

Laying solid foundations Father, as we focus our prayers this week on the importance of foundations, we pray that our prayers would be timely and impactful for those that are raising up children, for those that are surrounded daily with youths. Every child is of value of worth that God has created for a purpose and for a reason. It is vital and important that we call out the destinies of every single child. Father, we surrender our lives to You, because we realize we are helpless without You and it is only You that can reveal this to us. Father, we pray that our children would recognize that the most important foundations that they need to lay inside their hearts and souls today comes from the Lord. We pray that our children at a young age would have an intimate and close relationship with You. We pray that they would desire You more than anything else. Today, we pray that our foundations and our youths would be shaken so that You would lay a solid foundation that is not easily breakable. In Jesus name we pray, amen. � 2009 Lee Shaun Tzen

Father, as we pray for solid foundations to be laid in the lives of the youths, we also pray that solid foundations would be laid in every marriage and every young couple headed into marriage. We are all human, imperfect, flawed, and sinful. Add two people together and there is a potential for a formula that can create an atomic bomb. Father, we pray that every marriage would take time to disinfect their sins and issues of the past. It is very draining and frustrating when we do not take the bold step of faith to heal our past. Today, let us surrender our lives to God so that we can be faithful, loving, and righteous towards our spouse and loved ones. Father, we pray that every marriage right now would spend quality time speaking with You. Where we have laid weak foundations, built bad habits, helps to destroy these things. Every marriage that has weak foundations is doomed for destruction. Talk is easy. Action is hard. Today, let us choose to lay the right foundations that are from the Lord. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
