Praying For Our Young People


I was at a rather large youth gathering this past Friday night and I was reminded once again to pray for our youth and young adults.

The battle for their souls is real. Satan is trying to steal, kill and destroy that which is not his!

Ladies, we need to pray over, pray through and pray for our young people!

We need to spend time with them; laughing at their silliness, appreciating their uniqueness and speaking God's truth over them. Carefully, gently, boldly reminding them who they are; God's creation, His sons and daughters, and He loves them very much.

When our young people know who they are in Christ, when their true identity is found in Christ, then they will live from a different place. Eph. 2:10 says, "For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago."

There is a spiritual battle for the souls of our young people. Ladies, we NEED to pray for our children. Whether they are biologically ours or not. We need to stand in the gap and pray!

We have some amazing camps coming up this summer at Manhattan Beach Camp.
Children's Camp (grades 2-6) - Aug. 12-17 

Camp 6-8 (grades 6, 7, 8) - July 17-20  

Youth Camp (grades 13-18) - Aug. 21-26  

Would you begin to pray for the camps?
Would you pray for the young people who will be attending these camps?
Will you stand in the gap and pray for that young person to have a personal encounter with God?
Would you do whatever you need to do to get them there?

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Eph. 6:12

Ladies, our youth desperately need our prayers. Will you PRAY?!
