1 Timothy 4:12.
Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.

Thank you, Father, for your faithfulness and your purity. Thank you for the way that Jesus grew in stature and wisdom as a child. Help us to walk in your wisdom and purity.

Thank you for the children of SG. Thank you for those that you’ve called and are walking with you. Surround them with your presence. Protect them from the evil influences of this world. Fill them with your love and joy. Teach them to pray and answer their prayers!

Thank you for those at SG that do not know you but are called of you. Open their eyes to see you. Bring into their lives parents and other adults that will be good examples to them. Call them by name and put a hunger in their hearts for you.

Thank you for those at SG that have rebelled against you. Draw them to you. Be the hound of heaven to them. DO not give up on them – open their hearts so that they can see you are there even in their rebellion.

Thank you for the children that are in the public school system. Help them to be an example of you to their neighbors. Thank you for the children that are in private or homeschools. Make them strong and teach them how to make a stand for you.

Thank you for the childrens’ and youth workers. Anoint them with a special anointing that they may touch lives for you.

In Jesus’ precious name,
amen
