Pray for the Young and the Old

Intercession 5.19 | NASB

For the several ages and conditions of men, as they stand in need of mercy and grace.

For those who are young and setting out in the world.

Lord, give to those who are young to remember their Creator in the days of their youth; Ecclesiastes 12:1(NASB) that thereby they may be kept from the vanity which childhood and youth are subject to, and may be restrained from following the impulses of their heart and the desires of their eyes, by considering that God will bring them to judgment for all these things. Ecclesiastes 11:9(NASB)

Lord, make young people sensible; Titus 2:6(NASB) and let the word of God abide in them, that they may be strong and may overcome the evil one. 1 John 2:14(NASB)

From the womb of the dawn, may Your youth be to You as the dew; Psalm 110:3(NASB) and let Christ be formed in the hearts of those who are young. Galatians 4:19(NASB)

Keep those who are setting out in the world from the corruption that is in the world by lust; 2 Peter 1:4(NASB) and give to those who have been well-educated, to retain the standard of sound words, 2 Timothy 1:13(NASB) and to continue in the things they have learned. 2 Timothy 3:14(NASB)

For those who are old and of long standing in profession.

There are some who are disciples of Jesus Christ of long standing; Acts 21:16(NASB) Lord, give them still to yield fruit in old age, to declare that the LORD is upright, that He is their Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Psalm 92:14-15(NASB)

Now the evil days have come and the years of which they say there is no delight in them; Ecclesiastes 12:1(NASB) let Your consolations delight their souls. Psalm 94:19(NASB)

Even to their old age be the same, and to their graying years bear those whom You have made; I beg You, carry, yes, bear and deliver them. Isaiah 46:4(NASB)

Those whom You have taught from their youth up and to whom You still declare Your wondrous deeds, now, also, when they are old and gray, do not forsake them; Psalm 71:17-18(NASB) do not cast them off in their time of old age; do not forsake them when their strength fails. Psalm 71:9(NASB)

Let every gray head be a crown of glory to those who have it, being found in the way of righteousness, Proverbs 16:31(NASB) and give them to know whom they have believed. 2 Timothy 1:12(NASB)

Pray for the Educational Institutions and Common Citizens of your Nation

Intercession 5.18 | NASB

For all the universities, schools, and nurseries of learning.

Let the schools of the prophets be replenished with every good thing given and every perfect gift from above, from the Father of lights. James 1:17(NASB)

Throw salt into these fountains and purify its waters, 2 Kings 2:21(NASB) so that from them may issue streams which will make glad the city of God, the holy dwelling places of the Most High. Psalm 46:4(NASB)

For the common people of the land.

Give grace to all the subjects of this land, that they may, under the government God has set over this nation, lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity, 1 Timothy 2:2(NASB) dwelling together in unity, Psalm 133:1(NASB) that the Lord may command a blessing upon His people – life forever. Psalm 133:3(NASB)

Let everyone of every denomination that fears God and does what is right, be welcomed to Him; Acts 10:35(NASB) yes, let such as love Your salvation say continually, “The LORD be magnified, who delights in the prosperity of His servants.” Psalm 35:27(NASB)

Pray for the Ministers of God’s Holy Word and Sacraments

Intercession 5.17 | NASB

For all the ministers of God’s holy word and sacraments, the masters of assemblies.

Teach Your ministers how they ought to behave themselves in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, 1 Timothy 3:15(NASB) that they may not preach themselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, 2 Corinthians 4:5(NASB) and may be diligent to present themselves approved to God, workmen who do not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15(NASB)

Make them mighty in the Scriptures, Acts 18:24(NASB) that from them they may be equipped for every good work, 2 Timothy 3:17(NASB) with purity in doctrine, dignified, and sound in speech which is beyond reproach. Titus 2:7-8(NASB)

Enable them to give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching; 1 Timothy 4:13(NASB) to take pains with these things, 1 Timothy 4:15(NASB) to devote themselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word; Acts 6:4(NASB) to be absorbed in them and to persevere in them, that they may ensure salvation both for themselves and for those who hear them. 1 Timothy 4:15-16(NASB)

Let utterance be given to them in the opening of their mouths, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, that they may speak as they ought to speak, Ephesians 6:19-20(NASB) as adequate ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; 2 Corinthians 3:6(NASB) and let them by the mercy of the Lord be trustworthy. 1 Corinthians 7:25(NASB)

Let the arms of their hands be made agile by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob; Genesis 49:24(NASB) and let them be full of power – with the Spirit of the Lord of hosts – Micah 3:8(NASB) to declare to Your people their transgressions, and to the house of Jacob their sins. Isaiah 58:1(NASB)

Make them sound in the faith, Titus 1:13(NASB) and enable them always to speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine, Titus 2:1(NASB) with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition; and let not the Lord’s bond-servants be quarrelsome but kind to all, able to teach. 2 Timothy 2:24-25(NASB)

Make them good examples to the believers in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity; 1 Timothy 4:12(NASB) and let them purify themselves who carry the vessels of the LORD, Isaiah 52:11(NASB) and let HOLY TO THE LORD be written upon their foreheads. Exodus 28:36(NASB)

Lord, grant that they may not toil in vain or spend their strength for nothing and vanity, Isaiah 49:4(NASB) but let the hand of the Lord be with them, that many may believe and turn to the Lord. Acts 11:21(NASB)
