Thirty Days of Prayer for The EDGE Colorado, Day Thirteen

Day Thirteen

Dear Prayer Team, 

Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

I remember learning this passage in Sunday school when I was very young.  

Today I have been exchanging emails with our Children's Director, Annmarie, and I have some very specific prayer requests for us to pray today.  One of the core purposes of The EDGE is to help parents raise their kids to become Godly men and women.  There is no doubt that God has entrusted to us a bunch of very bright, future leaders.  Please pray that we would live out the gospel, as they watch our every step.  

Here is a depressing example from Youtube of the negative influence adults can have on kids.  

I wish I knew of a video that showed the positive side of adults showing kids how to live.  
Lets pray that our church would continue to be a beacon of light in a dark world.  

Matthew 5:16 (KJV)
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

One way we can set the example is by showing our kids what it means to rely on God, and to turn to him often in prayer.  

AnnMarie makes a habit of asking our kids what they want prayer for.  Here is this week's list of kids who have requested that people pray for them:

Ethan  - Allie  - Eli  - Chloe  - Zach 
Grace for her soccer, Angel has a possible scholarship to her school 
Please pray for our kids who have been struggling with anxiety/ being scared.  
Also let's pray for summer safety for all the kids

Isn't it great to be able to bring kids before God in prayer!  

Annmarie asked that we pray for The EDGE as we take the lead on the children's program at the summer meetings of Converge Worldwide.  We want our volunteers to be good role models to all the kids and teens attending/volunteering at the CWW conference.  Praise God with us that all of these kids & adults would be willing to step forward in faith and serve.  It is such a blessing!

Thank you for praying,
