I Prayed have prayed
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Pray with confidence for deliverance from the spirit of death that has come against young adults in America. Cry out to God for the lives of our youth and for wholeness of mind and body for anyone considering suicide.

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones,not one of them will be broken. (Ps. 34: 17-20)

“Losing faith in God and declining religiosity are among the top reasons why young adults in America are increasingly committing suicide, according to the conservative Family Policy Institute of Washington.

The nonprofit organization explored the cultural conversations that the Netflix teen drama ‘13 Reasons Why’ has stirred in recent months, and noted that teen suicide is a real and growing issue in America.

The show, based on the novel of the same name, explores the life and suicide of a high schooler named Hannah Baker, detailing 13 reasons why she chose to kill herself….

‘Washington State’s suicide rate is 16 percent higher than the national average,’ he added….

Conzatti doesn’t agree with many experts who cite increased economic hardship and inadequate mental health services for the recent rise in suicide. He noted that ‘life on earth has never been better….He instead pointed to cultural shifts, specifically offering four important reasons why suicide has been on the rise.

‘Young Americans have increasingly disconnected from religious institutions over the last few decades, choosing instead to live according to their own ‘personalized spirituality’ or rejecting religion entirely,’ he pointed out, citing ‘decreased religiosity.’

He referred to Pew Research Center statistics from 2015 that showed that only 28 percent of millennials born between 1981 and 1996 attend religious services weekly; with younger millennials also less likely to believe in God, and only 38 percent considering religion to be an important part of their lives….” (Excerpted fromChristian Post, reporting by Stoyan Zaimov.)

HHelp, teach how to, cast down imaginations and every lofty and high things that exalt itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing down into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.Trust in the Lord, with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. But in all your ways, acknowledge him and he will make your path straight. To the praise of his glorious grace with which he has blessed us in the beloved.In Jesus name!

Lord!, show them Your strength….teach them Your ways. Give them faith in You and faith that they are able. Oh, if You can teach me Lord, You can teach Your teens, Your children. Your Word says that the youth are weapon and a blessing. Silence the enemy and let Your Word God, override the enemies voice, in Jesus name! Lord, Your teens, the generation hear Your voice , and they are known, and they follow You. According to John 10:27-29, I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them our of my hand. My Father , who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will NEVER leave you NOR forsake you”. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread.Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strength you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you. Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip or fall. No weapon formed against you will prosper. No weapon formed against Your people will prosper. No weapon formed against America will prosper. Do not fear them, for the Lord your God is the one fighting for you. The sovereign Lord is my strength , he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. In Jesus name!

Lord, i agree with these prayers,
I pray that you Lord would be the Hope for the hopeless,
these children who are told they are but cosmic dust, instead of those stamped with your image, oh Lord.
I pray that you would be their peace, oh Prince of Peace,
these children who have danger on every side: lies and deception and temptation never known since perhaps Noah’s day.
I too pray a hedge of protection around them, i bind the spirit of suicide and lose them to respond to the gospel, and to fall in love with Jesus, and to know they need savings and that He is able to save them.
Lord in their desperation, may they call out to You, and may they know that you hear them.
In Jesus name, Amen

Unity prayer:
Please pray & intercede for protection, for President Trump & Vice Pence [physical & finances], & that Trump remain the great unifier he is, & pray the Unity Trump has brought increase. greatest increase in unity since JFK & Reagan, and the destruction of the false unity based in compromise “Agree to disagree,” acquiescence, coercion, entitlement, tolerance for sin, guilt, condemnation, unworthiness, and racism. Pray and intercede that Trump doesn’t fall into a false alliance by mistake, for the sake of false unity for the country, but that he actually only agrees in accordance with the real Spirit of Unity, that is of the of the Spirit & the bond of Peace, & the Spirit of Truth & Justice over the USA.
The church must keep praying for President Trump & Vice Pence, & that it pray through the ordination in 2017, and for the next 8 years daily, pray without ceasing. God Almighty gave all authority to the church, & if the church quits praying after the election we could have another JFK, Lincoln, or Reagan/Nixon incident, pray to diffuse riots, before the begin. Intercession is not an office in the church; it is the responsibility of every believer to intercede and supplicate daily. Prayer isn’t to fix emergencies, which were originally caused by not praying, it is to prevent them! Pray the darkness goes back on those that send it out.
Rev 11:15 there were mighty voices in heaven, shouting, The dominion (kingdom, sovereignty, rule) of the world has now come into the possession and become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ (the Messiah), and He shall reign forever and ever (for the eternities of the eternities)! [Ps 22:28; Dan 7:13,14,27.] AMP
Rev 12:5 And she brought forth a male Child, one Who is destined to shepherd (rule) all the nations with an iron staff (scepter), and her Child was caught up to God and to His throne. [Ps 2:8,9; 110:1,2.] AMP
John 17:22 And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we (are) one; ASV
Pray for the unity of the Spirit & the bond of peace over America with Truth & Justice, for the Great Awakening! Pray for regeneration and renewal for D.T.; M.P.; F.G.; G.S.; J.G.

Father we lift up this young generation before you. We plead the precious blood of Jesus over them Lord. We know that all power in heaven and earth belongs to you. Lord i pray that you break this spirit of suicide and depression off this young generation that is full of promise. We know that our adversary hates life and seeks to kill, steal, and destroy; but Jesus came to give abundant life. I pray Lord let us love this young hurting generation like you do. Let us reach out to the rejected, the broken, the rebellious, the confused like you do. I claim the blood of jesus over there mind and rebuke every lie of satan that tells them there is no hope, that tells them nobody cares. Let the truth set them free. I cling to your promise that you would pour out your spirit on your sons and your daughters. I claim your word knowing it will never return void but accomplish what it was sent to do. In Jesus name Amen
