Heavenly Father, we lift the youth of this country up to You, asking for Your divine intervention and protection over their lives. Give our young the discernment, wisdom, strength, character and courage to navigate their way through a culture that surrounds them with godless influences and temptations.
Let our sons in their youth be as grown up plants, and our daughters as corner pillars fashioned as for a palace. Psalm 144:12
In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed. ~ Noah Webster “Schoolmaster To America” 1828
For it is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child Himself. Charles Dickens (1845). “A Christmas Carol in Prose: Being a Ghost Story of Christmas”
Operation World Pray for Zimbabwe : Zimbabwe faced years of seemingly unending national emergencies, wrought by the corruption and ineptitude of its own ruling party. It once exported food, and then was no longer able to feed its own people, even with international aid. Rewarding war veterans with formerly white-owned farmland destroyed a once-rich agricultural sector. Hyperinflation was so bad that Zimbabwe’s own currency was rendered worthless, and people only used money from other nations. Millions left the country to seek a better life elsewhere, including many leaders in education, business, healthcare, and the church. Poverty grips millions who remain. The education system, once the envy of the continent, has been gutted by brain drain and poverty – a quarter of parents cannot afford to send their children to school. Pray for God to restore this once-prosperous land and to use His people to bring relief to the decades of suffering.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11 (ESV)
