Prayer for Young People
O God, we pray and beseech you
to guide and protect young people
from the dangers that are ever present in our world today.
Be with them, as they experience both sickness and health,
sorrow and joy,
loneliness and friendship,
success and failure.
Gracious God,
give to them the courage and strength
to make the right decisions
as they journey through life.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit,
may they come to know and experience your loving care.
We make this prayer through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for being such a good Friend to me. Lord, I desire to also be a good friend to those You have put in my life. May I be the kind of friend who will not shy away from speaking the truth in love when the occasion calls for it. May I also be mindful to encourage my friends, to speak well of them, and to always be there for them when they need me. Also, Lord, may I not neglect my friendships and take the time necessary to nurture them, and may You always be in the middle of them. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

My Old Nature Put to Death
Ephesians 4:22-24
Dear Father, righteous and holy God,
Enable me to put away completely my old human nature - the former lifestyle corrupted by deceitful desires.
Help me to be renewed in the spirit of my mind, to put on a new nature, created in your likeness in true righteousness and holiness.
Father, make me holy like Jesus, righteous with his righteousness!
In the name of the holy Jesus I pray for true holiness within me. Amen.
