Alyssa and her youth leaders at graduation (2012)
Lord, you put other people in our lives in order to bless us, encourage us, and sometimes even teach or stretch our thinking when it comes to our faith. Faith in you isn't necessarily something we are supposed to do on our own. We learn so much from the other people in our life. Thank you for the many people who are like that in my own life. What joy it is to walk this journey with others.
Father,
I pray that you strategically place friends or adults in Alyssa and
Kyle's life that encourage them in their walk with you. Give them
places of safety and refuge with people they can trust, and who
speak love and truth into their lives, especially when the daily grind
of life is so hard. Give them mentors and friends who walk with them as
aliens and strangers in this world.
In turn, I pray, dear Jesus, that Alyssa and Kyle BE the encourager in
the life of someone else. Help them to be bold and wise in their
conversation with others, leading them closer to you. Use my children
to bless someone else by speaking truth, being kind, and showing love
that reflects you.
I
pray that there will be others in Alyssa and Kyle's life that encourage
them in their faith, and also that they will want to encourage others
as well. Thank you, Jesus, for hearing my prayers!
