Pray for children and youth

Father in heaven, we bring to you the young people in our church.

We thank you for the noisy babies and the restless toddlers, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to each of these.

Protect the children and teens in our communities. Grant them safe and loving homes and opportunities to know of your saving love.

Bless the young adults in our midst. Help us to foster their passion and provide opportunities to join with you in your mission.

May we be encouragers of all young people, freeing them to pursue their passion for you and ministry.

Give us, and the young people we know, eyes to see your kingdom. With Jesus as our brother, we pray. Amen.
