DAY 17: Godly Men to Lead Youth

Holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. – Philippians 2:16

In ministry, youth leaders have one of the most important roles. Students benefit from them because they help establish a foundation of faith. We need the next generation of believers to lead the charge for Christ. There is a lot of pressure that comes with being a leader. Trying to figure out whether you’re doing the right thing, if your decisions are the right ones, and if you’re really making a difference in students’ lives. Pray for peace in their hearts and minds and that they will share the gospel with all students, inviting them into a relationship with Jesus. Pray for more future youth leaders, “for the fields are ready to be harvested.” Prayer for leaders who, like Jesus, are not afraid to communicate with anyone and love radically, and stepping out of society’s boundaries and norms to rescue students.

Father, we boldly ask in the name of Jesus that you would empower youth pastors across El Dorado and Union County and that their lives would be lived out in bold faith, bringing the gospel to every student they encounter. Allow them to feel at peace in their ministries as they draw near to you. It is my prayer that they will hold fast to the word of life and pursue Jesus with everything they have, while inviting others to do the same.

Thank you for joining in prayer with your neighbors across El Dorado and Union County, Arkansas for the 2024 40 Days of Prayer. Please continue to pray for blessings and unity for our community.

We are so grateful for your partnership in God’s Kingdom work. May you and yours be blessed.
