Scripture Affirmations to Pray for our Children at B & B

While our children are at Bible and Beach we have committed to pray for God to move among our youth as well as the leadership. To give you some way to focus your prayer time, we will be providing scripture affirmations for you to pray. We will also be posting more specific prayer requests and leaders names each day for you to pray for. We are attempting to stay connected with the leadership attending this event with our children to obtain specific requests and feel like sharing that with all of our prayer warriors is a great way for us to support their efforts. Please feel free to share these with your small group or others that would like to join us in prayer during this time. If you have specific questions or comments please feel free to Contact Us via the contact us form or directly by emailing us at info@runningintojesus.com.

Help them not to be discouraged but rather to know that You are with them wherever they go.”

• Matthew 26:41 “We thank You Lord, that as my teen begins to learn to pray, that You will keep watch over their heart. Thank You that You will enable them not to fall into temptation.

I praise You that You are putting a new song in their mouth, a hymn of praise to You, Our God. Lord, let many see and fear You because of all that You have done for my teen and then through that story, others will put their trust in You, the Lord.”

• Isaiah 44:1-5 “Thank You Lord, that it is You who has made my teen. You formed them in the womb and You promise to help them. Thank You Lord that they have nothing to fear because You provide all things for them. You are even now, pouring Your blessing upon my offspring and helping them to spring up like grass in the meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams. You are helping them to declare that they “Belong to the Lord” and even write upon their hand, “The Lord’s”. Oh Father, by the blood of Jesus Christ we claim their salvation and we acknowledge that You are the one that calls them to this life of surrender to You and Your plans.”
