We join with you in lifting up these young men before the throne of grace and we agree together for their spiritual strength and growth in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the will of God that young men be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might, growing in grace and not remaining spiritual infants.
We are encouraged by your desire to see them disciplined in their spiritual duties and we stand with you for this. The Scripture says in 2 Peter 3:18, But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen. And in Col 1:9-12 we are taught to pray that they may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that they may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy.
We pray for discipline and diligence in their walk. As it is written in 1 Tim 4:7, exercise yourself toward godliness, and in 2 Tim 2:15, Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth. We ask the Father to give them a hunger for the Word as newborn babies long for the pure milk of the Word, that they may grow thereby, as in 1 Pet 2:2, and that they would be devoted to prayer, for Luke 18:1 tells us that men ought always to pray, and not to faint, and Eph 6:18 reminds us to pray at all times in the Spirit and be watchful to that end with all perseverance and requests for all the saints.
We pray together for them now.
Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You and we lift up these young men to You. We ask that You pour out upon them Your blessing as You promised in Num 6:24-26, The Lord bless you, and keep you. The Lord make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up his face toward you, and give you peace. Grant them wisdom liberally as You have promised in James 1:5, that if any of us lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
We ask that You teach them to love You with all their heart, soul, mind and strength and to love their neighbor as themselves according to Mark 12:30-31, and that their love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that they may approve the things that are excellent, that they may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God, as in Phil 1:9-11. Let the fruit of the Spirit be evident in their lives, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control, as in Gal 5:22-23, and let their love be out of a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith as in 1 Tim 1:5.
We ask for healing and wholeness for them, for Ps 103:2-3 says, Praise the Lord, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, and we claim Isa 53:5, But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed, and 1 Pet 2:24, by whose stripes you were healed. Give them a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You, that the eyes of their hearts may be enlightened as in Eph 1:17-18, and make them true worshipers who worship the Father in spirit and truth as in John 4:23.
Raise them up as laborers for the harvest, to go into all the world and preach the Good News to the whole creation as in Mark 16:15, with signs and wonders following, and stir up within them the gifts of the Holy Spirit as distributed according to Your will as in 1 Cor 12:4-7. Make them men of intercession who stand in the gap for souls to be saved, for You desire all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth as in 1 Tim 2:3-4, and for Zion’s sake not to hold their peace as in Isa 62:1.
We pray they would learn to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and in everything give thanks, for this is Your will in Christ Jesus toward them as in 1 Thess 5:16-18, and that they would in nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let their requests be made known to You, and Your peace which surpasses all understanding will guard their hearts and thoughts in Christ Jesus as in Phil 4:6-7.
We also agree together for their protection, Father, that You would not lead them into temptation but deliver them from the evil one as in Matt 6:13, and as Jesus prayed in John 17:15, that You would keep them from the evil one, and that they would be kept from deceitful lips and do no unrighteousness as in Zeph 3:13. Guard them from all temptation and sin.
We thank You in advance for what You will do, believing according to Mark 11:24, Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them. We trust You to complete the good work You have begun in them until the day of Jesus Christ.
We ask all of this in the mighty and only saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved and no other way to the Father except through Him. Amen.
