10 week

TEEN CHALLENGE

It’s graduation season so whether you’re about to send off your teen into the real world, transitioning from junior high to high school, or in the throws of mood swings or teenage angst, our kids need our prayers! 

 

And I want YOU to know just how powerful and necessary your prayers for your kids are.  They are God’s children first and He chose YOU to intercede for them. 

Teen-Bible-Example

What are we making?

  • a Selah Way Sister Prayer Bible for the teen in your life.
  • Choose 10 topics/areas of life to focus on praying into for them.
  • Flag 15 scriptures for each topic.
  • Write a prayer next to each scripture.

 

      = a Prayer Bible with 150 handwritten prayers that encourage, equip, comfort, and edify your teen.

why?

We are in a battle for the minds and hearts of our teens!  In a world that defines it’s own truth, only God can open their hearts to fall in love and follow the one Truth.

 

But He wants to partner with us for the process!  And through praying for our kids, He not only changes their lives, but He also changes our own dependence on & faith in Him.

Week by Week

Follow along on our Instagram every week for a deeper dive into that week’s topic! 

Submit your questions below and I’ll answer them during the week!

week 1 - Feb 25

Courage

God commands courage.  He also strengthens us in courage.  Courage is also consistent with our level of trust and faith in God.  We’ll cover scripture and examples of courage in action.

week 2 - Mar 4

Guidance

The world is very persuasive and distracting.  We will find scripture that specifically talks about God’s promise to guide us and what He tells us to do to initiate this divine leadership.

week 3 - Mar 11

Forgiveness

The “root of bitterness” begins with the seed of hurt feelings.  But the Lord models forgiveness for us so that we can do the same for others, stopping the effects of sin in our minds and bodies.

week 4 - Mar 18

Identity

Insecurity will lead us down wrong paths as we seek to find ourselves.  Being secure in who God created them to where we will focus our prayers.

week 5 - Mar 25

Rejection

“Sometimes man’s rejection is the Lord’s protection.” Finding scripture to help guard our teens’ hearts against this hurtful experience is our offensive weapon. 

week 6 - Apr 1

anxiety

This silent killer has overtaken our culture but the Lord’s Word is filled with remedies, convictions, and commands that can change our brains and free our teens from this tactic of the enemy.

week 7 - Apr 8

words of life

The power of the tongue is a mighty weapon that has the power to build up or destroy.  We’ll focus on scripture that encourages our teens to choose their words wisely.

week 8 - Apr 15

Future

God has good plans for our teens, even in seasons of drought, and especially in seasons of doubt, it’s important to remember God’s plans for them will not fail even when they can’t see it.

week 9 - Apr 22

faith

Capable of moving mountains and initiating miracles, signs, and wonders, our teens’ faith is foundational to how they will make decisions for the rest of their lives.  May we pray into this area fervently for them.

week 10 - Apr 29

community

Our friends are crucial to our walk with the Lord.  We will seek discernment for our teens, placement of right people in their lives, and conviction to fall upon them when their friend group needs adjusting.
