Prayers for Our City – August 29, 2016
“I’ve filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him skill and know-how and expertise in every kind of craft to create designs and work in gold, silver, and bronze; to cut and set gemstones; to carve wood—he’s an all-around craftsman.” (Exodus 31:3-5; MSG)
Father, our children and youth are captivated by beauty, art and movement like no other generation before. The world is being lived out in front of them in living color—filled with visual impact and sound. And You created them for such a time as this! Many of them were created to express their artistic talents in ways that bring great glory to You! Enable us as parents, as Sunday School teachers and youth leaders, and as teachers in the arts to help them. Support them. Teach them. Open doors for them. We trust that You know what You are doing in this season in regard to the Arts and Entertainment mountain of our culture. One of the best ways to share our witness today is to play out the message of Christ’s love artistically in front of this lost and thirsty nation.
So we call for the rising up of the creative ones in Huntsville/Madison County —the dancers, the artists, the musicians, actors, graphic designers, filmmakers and writers! We ask You, Lord, to increase creativity in our children and youth in this entertainment-driven world today. Lord, may a new spirit of innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship come upon the young. . We bless their creativity in Jesus’ name and we ask that You would cause these gifts to flourish during this crucial time in their lives. Father, we are praying that You would do something extraordinary among our young artists and performers! Would You raise up Christians with a love for the arts who would invest in the next generation – both financially and also as coaches, professors and teachers who will help our children navigate this arena with safety and wisdom. [Pray for those you know who are involved in this mentoring process. Here are just a few to bless.]
