Heavenly Father, I come to you now interceding for the young adults in my church.

Please pray aloud:
Heavenly Father, I come to you now interceding for the young adults in my church.
My heart breaks when young adults walk away from the faith of their childhood. Sometimes it’s outright rebellion, other times it’s a slow drift into apathy. But I speak against this type of exodus in my church, Lord. If there are questions they’re asking, help my church speak to those questions. If the evil one has deceived them to question your Word, let your truth transform them and renew their minds. If they feel alone in their faith at this stage of their life, surround them with other followers of Jesus who will encourage them.
Specifically, I lift up… [name any young adults in your church on your mind.]
Hear me now, Lord, as I ask for your blessings over them—
Bless them with dedication to complete their education. Bless them with job opportunities afterwards in the career you have chosen for them. Bless them financially, and bless them with wisdom to manage their growing wealth, and to tithe from it for the rest of their life.
Bless them with a faithful and godly spouse. As they look for a spouse, help them to follow your Word’s command to flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace. Help them to honor marriage, to abstain from sexual immorality, and to treat their bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit. Lead them to a spouse who lives to love and serve you, Lord, and may their relationship draw them both closer to you.
Fill the young adults in my congregation with a sense of identity, belonging, and purpose for your kingdom, God.

Bless them with healthy and godly children. Help them model the faith for their kids, prioritizing a relationship with you at home and in the church above all things.
Finally, Lord, bless them in our church. Make us a church that equips and ministers to young adults, that they may have a sense of identity, belonging, and purpose for your kingdom, God. Burn in their hearts with a passion for your Word, your mission, and your Church. Assimilate these young people into the life of the ministry. Prompt them to serve in the church with their gifts and strength, that your kingdom may expand and be enriched. Help them submit to the leadership of the church, and to clothe themselves with humility even in their youth, that you may be glorified in all they do.
