Open Heaven For Teens – 7 October 2025 TOPIC: Prayers for Elders
MEMORISE: And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. Acts 14:23
BIBLE READING: JOEL 2:25-28
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
PRAYERS:
1) Father, I thank You for all the elders around me. Please give them more wisdom to counsel and lead the younger generation aright.
2) Father, please help all the elders around me to finish well. None of them will lose their place in Your kingdom, in Jesus’ name.
3) Father, please heal all the elders around me who may be sick in their bodies. Touch them and take away the sickness, in Jesus’ name.
4) Father, please give all the elders around me divine health, sound mind, and long life, in Jesus’ name.
5) Father, please help all the elders around me who may have stopped dreaming to begin to dream again and see mighty visions in their old age, in Jesus’ name.
6) Father, please protect all the elders around me in all their ways. Let the blood of Jesus speak for them every day, and let no harm come near them or their dwelling, in Jesus’ name.
7) Lord, by Your mercy, none of the elders around me will be put to shame. Their enemies will not mock them in their old age, in Jesus’ name.
8) Father, please let all the elders around me live fulfilled lives. They will see their grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, even to the fourth generation, in Jesus’ name.
9) Lord, all the elders around me will not have a cause to sorrow over their children in Jesus’ name. Amen.
10) Your personal prayer requests.
ACTION POINT:
Thank God for the answers to your prayers.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JEREMIAH 8:8-9:26 COLOSSIANS 3:1-17
HYMN : 22 – SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER! SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER
1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Father’s throne
make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter’s snare
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
the joys I feel, the bliss I share
of those whose anxious spirits burn
with strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
where God my Savior shows his face,
and gladly take my station there,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
thy wings shall my petition bear
to him whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
believe his word, and trust his grace,
I’ll cast on him my every care,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
