Lord, I lift up to you Ligon Middle School. You love them.
You love those 1500ish 6th-8th graders. Raise up your
sons and daughters to invest in them and be a conduit of your grace. Pour your
spirit out God. Thank you for the doors that you have opened. To be in the
lunch room. To know some of the staff. To be friends with some of the students.
To know their names and where they are from and what they want to be when they
grow up. I know you are faithful to your promises. I know that you are worthy
of glory and praise. We offer ourselves as living sacrifices. Committed to you.
Committed to prayer for this particular school in this particular city where
you will change lives and capture hearts. I pray that they get to see you this
year, that they get to meet you. If it is us, we praise you. If it is
elsewhere, we praise you. We will just keep loving on them, keep showing up,
keep praying. Bring more people lord. More Christians. God, we need parent
support. We need parents to know who we are and our intentions and our hearts.
We don’t know how to know parents but you do lord and you know the ones who
already know you and want their kids to know you and have been praying for
people like us in the lives of their kids-show us those moms and dads. Lord,
there are teachers who are Christian and we don’t know who they are but show us
lord. God, don’t just change the hearts of students, change parents. Change
teachers. Bring life out of death. Light out of darkness. Bring the weight of
glory to Ligon Middle School. Bring kids together who never interact-break the
stereotypes, the cliques, the judgments. God we beg you for favor. We may seem
weird to them, but change their hearts to see us as friends. People who are for
them. People who value them. But most of all, God, let them see you. Let them
see the light of the glory of your Son. Let them see that life is in him, life
to the full. Let us see it too God. We so easily forget. I love you, God.
