Prayers for the youth and marriages ~ 9 Oct 2009 1 Corinthians 12:26 If one suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it.

In the name of Jesus, we pray that You would help us open the eyes of our children. Help them see and recognise the meaning and definition of life. Without You we are nothing. We pray for our children today, that even at a young age they will be able to capture and understand what it means to have a relationship with You. Lord Jesus, we pray right now that You would shake the very foundations and values of our children. Some do not know You. We pray that this would change. We pray for every school, educational institute, and organisation that focus all their time and energy in youth related projects. Today, we pray that their focus will be on You and how our children can come to know the Lord. � 2009 Shaun Lee

Father, we pray for every marriage right now. Every couple that have recently strengthened their marriage. Lord we celebrate this today. Every hard work does not go unnoticed by our Lord. What we sow we will reap. We pray that these couples who have learnt how to overcome storms will not go back into their shells or back to their old ways. We celebrate the victory, we celebrate the new found love. More importantly though we pray that these couples would be used by You O God. Used to strengthen, encourage, and help other couples who may be suffering. Lord Jesus, we pray for restoration to take place. In order for restoration to be fully 100% real it requires an authentic relationship with You. Today, we pray for this. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
