Each month, our Prayer Ministry Team offers a specific prayer focus, working under the belief that communal prayer is a powerful and world-changing exercise.

May Prayer Focus
During May we will focus on praying for our children, whether they are yours by birth or not, now more than ever they need our prayers. Jesus loved children; children were very important to him. Children have significance in God’s plan, and we are admonished throughout scripture to pray for them.

This month let’s join in praying for the following:

• For them to follow God — Proverbs 22:6: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
• For them to grow in faith — Luke 18:17: “Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
• For Godly friends — Proverbs 17:17: “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.”
• For their future — Jeremiah 29:11: “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.”
• For protection — Psalm 34:7: “The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.”
• For Peace — John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
• For their Spouse — Matthew 19:6: “So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
• For Good character — Psalm 19:14: “May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.”
• For Wisdom — Proverbs 2:6: “For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.”
• For Courage — Deuteronomy 31:6: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
