I've still got two more challenges to share after last weeks blog, but I want to go with this instead this week. We'll go back to those next week...

As I sat at the back of the One Life Leaders SE Conference yesterday, a prayer came to my lips (or more accurately to my fingers as I poured out my heart into my iphone). I wanted to share it with you...

Looking at the young leaders of this generation, I don't think the question is whether people will listen to them, it's what they'll choose to say.

God give them your words, your heart. May the words they say be life and health not words of death and fallacy. We claim ground for this generation Lord, we declare that you are their God and you will speak through them. Please keep them faithful and hope full Lord. Give them faith to follow to the end and may they find there hope and truth beyond their expectations.

They are worth so much. They are so important. Every single one. Their lives make a mark.

Lord it feels so fragile, so many lives, each one precious; please protect them and keep them safe. Please let them not choose safe lives but lives that make a difference Lord; lives that declare your power and majesty and light Lord God; lives that make a difference.

They are yours.

Amen
