Upper Canada Youth For Christ, serving churches in Upper Canada by building relationships, sharing resources, and following the pulse of God where it is already beating.  Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Ephesians 6:18 This week will conclude our study about how to use the armor of God in our everyday lives. The youth will be given reminders, Bible verses, and pictures they can bring home to hang in places they will be reminded of their right standing with God, and how to use the word to remain in Him. Please pray the youth retain that which we have spoken. Also that they are given a desire to be in the word, and are reminded to keep talking to God. Father we know that it is only in you that we come to the throne of grace to be in your presence. It is a desire you place in us. Today we pray this desire to be given to each youth that has heard your word of truth. Make them hunger and thirst for you more than anything they have ever wanted before. Set their hearts on fire, may your word dwell richly, and abundantly in their hearts, revive and awaken their entire beings to you. Bring them into the light where they can be known and know that you are God. Help us speak words of your love, your forgiveness and your redemption over them. Help us build up, encourage and show them you. Where we are lacking, may your grace cover us, where we are needing, may you speak the right words through us. You are faithful. Thank you for this. Protect them from the lies that the world teaches... from the lies that try to snuff out your light. May the breadth of your goodness and love for us be a safe place where we retreat to you. May it be a place we invite your children into. Teaching them to trust you with the hidden things of our hearts, hidden fears, hidden wants, and needs. Thank you for this group of youth. May your delight continue to rest on each one of them. May they know you and want to know you more as well.
