Day 16: High Schools
Pray today for the high school students, teachers, and administrators of America. In the midst of the rising tide of immorality, violence, and broken families affecting the youth of America, we must position ourselves as intercessors to proclaim and release God’s purposes. In a culture where it is acceptable and even encouraged for youth to squander and experiment, pray that the Lord will raise up an army of young people who will view their youth as a great opportunity to spend their strength for Christ. Pray that the youth of America will be God’s great instrument of change in America and that Jesus will captivate their hearts. Pray for those struggling with depression, suicide, cutting, eating disorders, bullying, family disfunction, divorce, peer pressure, drugs, domestic violence, substance abuse, and sexual bondage. Pray specifically for high school students you may know by name that the Lord will encounter them and shape them by the Holy Spirit. Pray for teachers and administrators to have the mind of Christ. Pray that they will lead students with integrity and the fear of the Lord. Pray that the Lord will give them strength and courage Pray for those responsible for shaping curriculum, that God will mold the information being taught. Pray for high school church ministries and outreaches that the Lord will use them to mightily impact lives and transform hearts. Pray that the youth of America will be equipped to follow Jesus their whole lives with passionate fervor.
Today’s Passage:
Jeremiah 29:11-13
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
