Philippians 1:9-11
And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ; having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Father we give you glory and praise for who you are. Thank you for the fruit of righteousness which comes from obeying you. Forgive us for the times that we aren’t sincere. We often lack discernment and we don’t act according to the knowledge that you’ve given us. Fill us with your love and knowledge. Teach us righteousness.

Lord, thank you for Danny M and his love for you. Thank you for John Herman and his excitement about your grace. Thank you for their faithfulness and willingness to serve you.

I ask you that you give them your love in abundance. Help their knowledge of you and discernment to grow. Give them wisdom as they lead the youth. Bring about living fruit in the lives of the youth because of their faithfulness.

I ask that you give them wisdom in leading the youth. Provide wisdom and knowledge beyond their years so that they may know how to draw both believers and seekers to you. Keep them sincere and blameless until the day of Jesus Christ. Give them wisdom in their personal lives too.
In Jesus name,
Amen
