Encouragement: I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.  [Psalm 32:8]

Pray for:

A. Our youth: This week, let us concentrate on our youth! Our young people are fighting overwhelming battles:
  1. Ask the Lord to break every stronghold and to raise up a generation which loves and serves the Lord with all their hearts!  [Psalm 119:9]
  2. Them to walk in the Truth of God's Word and fulfil God's purposes in their lives.  [Jn. 17:17]
  3. A tremendous decrease in illiteracy and teenage pregnancies. Eastern Cape Hospitals reported 14 200 births by girls aged 10-19 in the 2025/2026 financial year. Many of these pregnancies are due to rape and molestation of young girls.  [Psalm 34:4, 7]
  4. These young girls to receive godly guidance, healing from trauma, protection, and spiritual and emotional restoration.  [Psalm 91]
  5. The protection of all our youth from kidnapping and human trafficking.  [Psalm 34:17]
  6. The exposure and arrest of the syndicates behind the kidnapping and human trafficking.
  7. The Lord to move among our youth by the Word of God and by His Spirit - convicting them of immorality and various addictions.  [John 16:8]
  8. Our teenage and young adult believers to be strengthened in the Lord, so that they live in such a way as to bring glory to the Name of the Lord.  [Ephesians 3:14-19]
  9. The teenage and young adult believers to serve the Lord in all holiness and gladness, and to preach the Gospel by their lifestyle and through wise words.  [Eph. 4:1-3; James 1:5]
  10. A powerful spiritual awakening among our youth and an intergenerational move of God.  [Acts 2:17-18]
  11. The economy of NMB to improve, large businesses to relocate to NMB, entrepreneurs to get established and skills training to escalate, so that the unemployment rate among our youth will decrease remarkably.  [3 John 2]
  12. The Moral Regeneration Teams, Christ for All Nations (CFAN), Scripture Union and the Student Christian Association to effectively preach the Gospel and disciple learners in the EC.  [Matthew 28:18-20]

B. The elections: to be free and fair, all corrupt actions to be exposed, people to realise their huge responsibility to vote wisely and not according to fear, persuasion or tradition, minimal spoilt papers, and the voting stations to be properly prepared and equipped.  [Prov. 11:1]

C. Crime, corruption, violence and gangsterism: to be rooted out, and all criminality and organised crime syndicates to be exposed, arrested, and fairly sentenced.

Remember the promise: ... pray to the Lord for the city because if it prospers, you will prosper.  [Jeremiah 29:7]
