DAY 40 – Dreams and Visions Revisited
“In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.”
Acts 2:17

During these past 40 days as you have reflected on all that Jesus Christ has done for you and you have spent time in prayer for Young Adult Ministry, what new insights have you gained?  Take some time to write down all that God has revealed to you during this prayer journey.

Dear God, Thank You for sending Your Son to serve as a bridge for me back to You.  I ask that You use me to become a connection point to the young adults in my life to Your word and Your Son.  Amen.

DAY 39- Seek
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
Jeremiah 29:13

Through this time of prayer to God over the future of the Young Adult ministry in our conference, let’s not lose focus of our own hearts and bodies. It is imperative that we are seeking God with all our heart. His word says that He will make all things clear for those who “put their trust in the Lord and lean not on their own understanding.” I challenge you today to repeat that simple verse above throughout the day.

Dear God, remind me to put all other things aside and seek You with all that I have.  In my seeking, give me eyes to see with and ears to hear with as I discern Your will for me.  Help me to “put [my] trust in [You] and lean not on [my] own understanding.” Amen

DAY 38 – Goodness
“And we know that in all things God works for the good
of those who love him, who have been called
according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28

As we continue together as a united body of Christ for His plan to become revealed about the Young Adult ministry, let us not forget to continue to be in continual praise for the One who has given us so much. His love never fails, it never gives up, and it never runs out for all His people. Let us pray for God’s love and grace to guide us through this time.

Dear God, I pray for Your love and grace to guide me through this time of seeking.  Help me to look towards Your word for guidance and towards Your grace as I reach out to others.  Help me to share Your love as a means of connecting all to Your goodness. Amen.

DAY 37- Patience
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.”
Philippians 4:6

The famous line “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” comes to mind here. As we ask for God’s direction for the Young Adult ministry of the Tennessee Conference, let us be patient for His path to come to us. Let our praise to Him be our offering.

Dear God, I will be still and wait for Your guidance.  I am grateful for all that You have done for me.  I praise You for the many blessings You have granted me.  Amen.

DAY 36 – Instructions
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.”
Psalm 32:8

Let this verse represent our life. Today allow Christ to instruct your every word and move. Submit yourself to God as a faithful and blameless servant. Pray for the Spirit of the Lord to surround you throughout the day.

Dear God, I ask that You instruct me in every word I speak and every step I take.  Fill me with Your Spirit, God.  Reveal to me Your will.  Amen.

DAY 35 – Confidence
“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
And if we know that he hears us – whatever we ask -
we know that we have what we asked of him.”
1 John 5:14-15

When praying for the Young Adult ministry today, let us remember that this is for God’s glory and not ours. God has incredible things in store for the people who surrender themselves to His cause. Let us pray that God’s plan and majesty may be glorified through our efforts in the Young Adult ministry.

Dear God, we want to glorify You.  Help us be a people who work tirelessly for Your glory as we serve You in the world. Amen.

DAY 34 – Intercession
“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.
We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.”
Romans 8:26

Searching for guidance from God is never the easiest thing to do. It requires persistence, patience, hope, and faithfulness. Let God fill our prayers and lives with his plan for the Young Adult ministry.

Dear God I give myself to Your will and ask for Your wisdom.  Intercede in my time of uncertainty and reveal Your plan for ministry with Young Adults. Amen.

DAY 33 – Call Out
“Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great
and unsearchable things you do not know.”
Jeremiah 33:3

This season of Lent is filled with our prayers and hopes that God will show us the direction that we should take for the future of the Young Adult ministry. Let our praise be an offering and a call to the Lord of all creation as He shows us His path we must take.

Dear God, I call out to You for Your guidance.  Amen.

“I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.”
Psalm 57:2 ESV

Ask God to reveal His purposes for the Young Adult Ministry of the Tennessee Annual Conference and your life.  Then thank God for fulfilling those purposes.

Dear God show me Your purpose for the Young Adult Ministry and for my life.  Thank you for being a God who answers prayers. Amen.
