Dear Friend of Youth, Please take 5 seconds and write the name of your child(ren) on these lines. While you are at it, write the name of a couple of their friends OR other youth you know. . . Go ahead–take a few seconds PLEASE and do it now.
____________________ ____________________
____________________ ____________________
Now, take a good look at the names! If you wrote down four, according to national average:
• 1 or 2 of these students you see on this list will be sexually abused by age 18.
• 1 or 2 of them will experiment with drugs and most of them will use alcohol by graduation from High School.
• 1 or 2 of them will have been sexually active by graduation from High School.
• By age 5 or 6 most of them have already been exposed to pornography.
• 1 or 2 of them will have children and/or be sexually active out of wedlock by the time they are 18.
Would you please pray for the youth that you wrote down above daily by name and need? Yes, we are all busy but the bottom line is this: Our students need our prayers. If we don’t pray for our students who will? The odds are that about half of them will never have anyone pray for them this entire year if we don’t pray for them daily by name and need. How about dividing the names of your youth group and asking adults in your church to pray for them? Ask the members of your congregation to take 5 or 6 student names to pray for daily for the coming year.Someone said, "When we work hard, we get what we work for. BUT when we pray, God works." If you truly believe in the power of prayer, would you make the attached Operation Intercession Prayer Guide available to everyone in your congregation, youth through adult, and ask them to commit to pray for 5 or 6 students by name this coming year. Ask them to pray for their friends, neighbors, grandchildren, nieces and nephews–OR any other youth they know. Just PRAY! Use one of the prayer guides as a master copy for xeroxing–a little time is all it takes. Find someone to help you if needed. Ask a mother of a student! "Doesn’t God already know the names of each student, so why pray for them by name?" Yes, BUT using this sort of logic, why pray at all since God knows everything any way? Right? No. Prayer matters. We follow our Lord’s example of praying: specifically by name and by need. You can access a FREE version by Clicking HERE!
Thank you for your help in praying for the Youth of America. May God bless and reward our prayers and protect and prosper our children and youth of our land.
