PRAYER

Every week I try to write a note in our announcement sheets for class, and a few weeks ago I gave them a prayer list. My desire is that they arrive at camp already open to what God has for them, and that they allow God to work on their hearts from day one. I included the note and the prayer list below:

     Last Tuesday I visited a camp, and it made me REALLY want to be at our camp… I cannot wait till July 25!

Begin praying now for camp. God WILL work despite your hard heart, but just imagine what He could do with a heart that is wide open already! Don’t make Him break through a hard shell of sin for three days before the messages really start to affect you at camp… make a choice now to be in on the very first service.

You know how that will happen? Prayer. Pray for God to work on your heart. Pray that He does something He’s never done with you before. Pray that He leads you in your teen years. Here are a dozen things you could pray for every day between now and camp:

1. Cleanse me of sin. (Read Psalm 51)
2. Challenge me to be and do more for Christ.
3. Help me fall in love with the Bible and preaching.
4. Help me deepen my relationship with my parents.
5. Lead Bro. Samms.
6. Lead the camp staff.
7. Lead my counselor.
8. Show me how I can be a blessing to my cabin-mates.
9. Lead Bro. Ryan and Mrs. Jamie.
10. Help me be accountable.
11. Give us safety.
12. I love you.

When you pray, God moves. On the bus trip up to camp I’m going to ask you what you prayed for leading up to camp, and I hope you can immediately raise your hands and spout something off. I pray for you often and really want you to grow. Do right. Love God. Pray for others.

—Bro. Ryan
