Lord,

I pray that you can be with my sister and the rest of the youth right, to lift up a generation of people who are after Your own heart. I know that as of right now, they have already endured half a week of dirtiness, and most likely tensions as well. God, I know that my sister has a heart for you, but she carries an external temper outside of that – I pray that you may be able to soften her, to really seek you Lord, and to desire more and more to be useful and glorifying to you oh God. Also for the rest of the CYF people that went down – that they may also experience the joy of being able to serve on this short term missions trip. Please humble their hearts as they are there for a week, to be able to put aside their culture, and be able to understand the new culture, and not let that be a hindrance to them, but rather be able to relate in the most basic level – in God’s transcendental love over all people groups. Not only that, but I pray that they be humbled in knowing that within this week, there won’t be anything to boast about in their actions, but instead to plant the seed of the Gospel in the children’s hearts, waiting until God’s good timing to bloom into salvation.

I pray for the leaders Lord, for those who have help organize, that you may be able to provide guidance and council to them. The rest of the team looks up to them, and I pray that You may invoke the Holy Spirit within them, and so be a good testimony to all who see them as representatives of Christ. I praise you Lord for having provided these leaders, as you have always provided even as it seems unlikely or impossible. I also want to lift up the Christian college that had set this program up, and mostly I praise the porter potty cleaners – they are the least recognized servants of you Lord, that deserves some recognition.

Lord, I know that You are good; please continue to just watch over the team and the yet-to-be-saved people in Mexico as well. I thank you god for listening in to this personal request to you God.

In Jesus’ Name,

Amen
