Devotional
Prayer is one of the most powerful tools for bringing about change in our lives and the world around us. It is a direct conversation with God where we can express our hopes, concerns, and desires. When you pray with faith, you align your heart with God’s will, and He can work through you to make a difference.
Even as a young person, your prayers are powerful. Don’t think you must wait until you're older to pray for your family, friends, school, or community. God listens to every heartfelt prayer, no matter your age.
When Nehemiah heard that the walls of Jerusalem were broken down, he prayed to God before acting. His prayers were filled with faith and led to the city's restoration (Nehemiah 1:4-11). Just like Nehemiah, your prayers can spark positive changes around you.
Here are a few reflective questions:
- What things in your life or community would you like to see change?
- How can you make prayer a consistent habit?
- Have you ever seen a prayer answered? How did it impact your faith?
- Who can you pray for today?
Let us pray:
Dear Lord, thank You for the gift of prayer. Help me to trust in Your power to bring about change. Teach me to pray with faith, believing that You hear me. Use my prayers to impact my life and the lives of those around me. Amen.
Please say these words of affirmation after me. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:
- My prayers are powerful and effective.
- God hears me when I pray.
- I will pray consistently and with faith.
- My prayers can bring positive change.
Never underestimate the power of your prayers. Pray boldly and trust that God is working behind the scenes. See you tomorrow!
