For American students to desire God

*** That American students would have a thirst for God, like their forefathers.

Psalm 42:1
1As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this day and for the opportunity to com before Your throne. Lord Jesus, You are a King. Thank You for the privilege to come before You on behalf of this nation. Please encourage Your church to rise up in prayer. Holy Spirit, please equip us, daily to stand before the Throne of Grace and petition the One True and Living God. Teach us that the battle is not ours, but Yours.

Our youth flounder. They desire to be loved and many feel they must prove themselves worthy of Your love. Father, it isn’t true. Teach us to receive the Gift of Your Love, Jesus Christ. Jesus, the Gift of Your Sacrifice.

Holy Spirit, there are so many lies out there. The enemy permeates and barrages us with perpetual lies and uses truth against us! We are told that we are not worthy —and this is a truth! Cause us all to be driven to Your Word to know the rest of Your demonstration of Your Love.

Hebrews 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Father, we read those words but choose not to believe them. We do not practice Your Truths in our thinking. Forgive us. Holy Spirit, I ask for a call to repentance. Place a deep thirst within us, especially our youth, to dig deeply into Your Word and understand Your love for us. Show them the passages that Your love is individual as well as for humanity. Issue a “Wake up call” to all believers to know that Your love is real, it is personal and it is true.

Where will we find this knowledge…In the Word of God. Gracious Holy Spirit, may we thirst for the Word. May we hunger for Truth. We go about our day and do not make time for Your Word….forgive us. Then, in our haste, we are not aware that our spirits are calling out for spiritual food and drink. We become emaciated and do not notice. Please raise the vail! Cause the scales to fall from our eyes and to see our need.

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Change our hearts and give us spiritual sensitivity on our condition. Open our understanding to see the answer is in Your Word. Establish habits of daily reading in Your Word in all American Youth. May it be the driving force in our lives, especially our Youth. Cause Your Church to put Your Word as a first priority in our lives…to study and to know You. May we set an example for our youth. May they see the connection between our behavior, the quality of our lives and the time spent in our Bibles.

Grant the church, especially our youth, to feed their desire deeper relationship with You. May we not stray from our moment of salvation. May that experience be foundational to having a heart to serve You, in gratitude and joy in our salvation.

Hear my prayer, in the Name of Jesus,
