Praying for your youth group
The Apostle Paul prayed faithfully for the Christians in the church at Colossae, even though he had
never met them. How much more should we devote ourselves to pray for the young people we
meet personally every week? 
But sometimes it’s difficult to know where to start and what to pray for. 
Paul’s prayer for the Colossian Christians can also provide a simple model or pattern for our own
prayers.

'We always pray for you, and we give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. For we
have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all of God’s people.' (Colossians 1: 3-
4)
 Give thanks for those who trust in Christ. Pray for individual group members and their
continuing spiritual growth.
 Give thanks for the fellowship experienced by the group. Pray for unity, harmony and
lasting friendships among the young people. 
 Pray for their witness to friends and family. Pray that as others join the group, they will
come to know Christ themselves.

'So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you
complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding.' (V 9)
 Ask God to help them know and understand what he wants them to do with their lives.
Pray for an openness to serve God with their time and gifts.
 Ask God to give them a deeper spiritual wisdom and understanding. Pray for wisdom in
resolving problems and that they become more like Christ.

'Then the way you live will always honour and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every
kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.' (V
10)
 Ask God to help them honour and live for him, continually doing good to others. Pray for
the fruit of the spirit in their lives (Galatians 5: 22). Pray for their families.
 Pray for compassion towards others in spiritual or physical need. 

'We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the
endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy always thanking the Father. He has
enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light.'  (V 11-
12)
 Ask God to give them strength and endurance for their Christian life. Pray for freedom
against the pressure to conform. Pray against evil influences.
 Pray for God to fill them with his joy and thankfulness for new life in Christ.
Prayer for Guidance at Work

O Lord, 
Open my eyes to see where you would lead me. 
Awaken my ears that I would hear your voice guiding me. 
Inspire my mind that I may comprehend your love for me. 
Soften my heart that I would offer grace to those I meet.
Watch my feet that I would tread upon your kingdom paths. 
Guard my heart from selfishness that I would give freely. 
Inspire my words that I may speak of hope and healing.
O Lord, I follow you. 
Amen.
