1 Corinthians 15:33

Do not be deceived: "Evil company corrupts good habits."

To many Father, far to many. My heart is heavy and full of concerns. But You Lord Jesus are the lifter of my head. The evil ones mission to lure our children in to the pit has caused me to cry out to You this morning. Father You have said, let no one despise our youth. Your desire is for them to be examples to believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith and purity. But O Father, the battle rages on. Jesus we need You to intercede for us and our young ones. Strengthen those You have called to ministry to lead the way. Give them the wisdom and understanding so when they preach and teach their tongues with be like a two edged sword. Fill them with the Holy Spirit to guide and instruct them to help struggling parents to raise their children in the way they shall go and they won't depart from it. Bless them for their loving dedication to You. Father breathe Your Spirit into neighborhoods to stand firm and be a hedge of protection around each others babies, children and teens. Father I pray, may the older and wiser speak words of encouragement to the younger who are weary from the fight. May their years of experience be hope and inspiration to those facing trails of wayward and  rebellious teens. May we come together as a community Your body to Your will. May we gleen from those who already lovingly do. Father I pray may we all be servants to one another not being haughty thinking we need not get involved because all is well in our homes. Grant us the willingness to wash the feet of the hurting mom, dad, grandparent, aunt or uncle that is filled with grief over the direction their beloved child is headed. Parenting in a life time, so Father bath those in Your peace who are still waiting for the turning of their adult children. May they see the fruit of their prayers come forth in their loved ones who turn and surrender their lives to You. May the good things we have sewn in to our children, keep them from being deceived, lured and tempted into giving up the blessings You have for them. Father expose the wickedness of the world so it is plan to the human eye. Father keep us from even going passed the harlots door. In the powerful and might name above all name Jesus, Amen.
