Prayer for the church group I'm starting
Heavenly Father,I ask that your Holy Spirit be present for my young people church goup meeting tomorrow. I pray that those who come will find peace and comfort in my house. Please let me be guided by your Holy Spirit as we meet. May your presence minister to our hearts. May your Spirit abide in all of us. I ask that you bring freedom to our hearts as we meet together. Let us be free to fellowship together. God Almighty, my our gathering be pleasing to you and open a door for us to grow in our relationship with you. Teach us your ways. Guide us in your path. Most importantly, grace us with your presence, for we seek your face. I thank you for this opportunity that you have opened for us to fellowship. Please build courage in my heart, and teach me to be sensitive to your direction.
In your precious son's name I pray.
Amen

A Prayer for Our Daughters
Beautiful Lord Wonderful SaviorI know for sure
All of her days are held in your hand
Crafted into Your perfect plan
You gently call her into Your presence
Guiding her by Your Holy Spirit
Teach her dear Lord
To live all of her life through Your eyes
Capture her by Your holy calling
Set her apart
I know You’re drawing her to Yourself
Lead her Lord I pray
Take her, mold her
Use her, fill her
I give her life to the Potter’s hand
Call her, guide her
Lead her, walk beside her
I give her life to the Potter’s hand." Amen.

Praying Psalm 32
Father in heaven,You are the Joy, the peace, and love of my life. "What a joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin has been put out of sight, What a joy for those whose record You have cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty." Thank you Lord. I have confessed to you my sins and my rebellion and you have forgiven me. Amen.
Father in heaven,
Guide my children along the best way for their lives. Advise them and watch over them. Do not let them be like senseless horses or mules who need bits and bridles to keep them under control. Let them confess their sins to you and stop trying to hide their guilt. Let them confess their rebellion to you and come to you to be forgiven. Oh what joy for them whose disobedience is forgiven, who sin is put out of sight. Let my children know the joy of having their record cleared of guilt and let them live their lives in complete honesty.
Amen.

Prayer Covering for Myself
Father God,I praise your name. Truly, you are magnificent. Your hand has been upon my life in the last two weeks. I pray that you would show me everything that I need to know to follow you in Spirit and in Truth. Please, soften my heart and keep my spirit humble. But, mostly Lord, I ask for your courage and your boldness. Give me the courage to follow you into the ministry you have opened up for me to lead the 20-somethings in my church. Give me the boldness to stand up against the enemy who is already speaking untruths into my ear, telling me I'm inadequate. Show me that your Word is good and bring me into an even closer relationship with you, that I might hear your voice and heed your call. I will follow you in all I do.
I thank you for your abundant love.
In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
