Heavenly Father, Yours is the harvest. Show us where to go to scatter the seed of Your gospel. Position us in the lives of young people who are lost so that we can offer them the word of life.
Lord Jesus, You are the servant King who came to seek and save the lost. Give us Your compassion and mercy to meet the needs of lost young people, serving them in humility like You.
Holy Spirit, You are the one who makes Jesus known to us. Give us power and boldness to speak words of life and perform acts of service. Be present in words of knowledge and signs and wonders, so that young people might believe.
Lord of the harvest, send us out into the fields of the lost to gather them into Your Kingdom. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

"Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.
They who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them." Psalm 124
And I had the song "He is the Lord" on my heart, especially these words:
"Your gospel, O Lord, is the hope for this nation:
You are the Lord.
It's the power of God for our salvation:
You are the Lord.
We ask not for riches but look to the Cross:
You are the Lord.
And for our inheritance GIVE US THE LOST!!
You are the Lord.
Send Your power, O Lord our God!
Send your power, O Lord our God!"

Then Jesus came to them and said “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age”

don't let this prayer time end today, but keep it going as you will need discernment and wisdom for the army God is raising up.
The keeper can see when the storm is coming and he also had the best view of where the fish might be. God will show us where the fish are.
Could see a patch of tropical fish around the lighthouse, we need to ask God to help us to show us our giftings for how to reach this group.

God
We thank you so much for lighthouse and its calling to reach the young people of Exmouth. I thank you for your promises to us when we are faithful to your word. God I pray that you would strengthen the group and leadership team and unify them in your supernatural and abounding love. I pray that the people of Exmouth would look at lighthouse and be 'confused' at the way the we love each other and the people of Exmouth. God I pray that each of us would be ever drawing nearer and closer to you, fixing our eyes on you and depending on you. Help us to really live out in our faith in all of our different circumstances. We pray that you help us to become servant hearted just as you were, Lord. Help us to not count the cost, but to give everything wholeheartedly for the sake of your kingdom. I thank God for your goodness, mercy, love, grace and peace that we have the ultimate privilege of experiencing. Thank you Jesus. ❤

Had a picture of a sand castle and it being knocked over again and again. Sand castles are great, we all have memories of them as a child and they're fun! However, sand castles are also temporary, non sturdy and get washed away easily. Lighthouses however are firm, built on rock, and unmoving. They require a keeper too, who is responsible for keeping watch and making sure the light is working for the safe harbor of those in a storm. I can imagine it being costly for a lighthouse keeper. I feel God is taking us into deeper waters, that might seem a bit out of our comfort zone! But we must act faithfully and trust God. I feel God is telling us that building sandcastles isn't going to cut it anymore, we're stepping onto solid rock now as we fix our eyes on Jesus. We are fishers of men.

Matthew 7.24-27

Keep having images (not just today but other times in prayer) of the strand and the area around subway. I feel it's a hot spot for young people who are broken and need their savior. How do we do this... well I think we must simply live by faith and go where God's spirit is leading us.

'The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the spirit.'

As we sit in our homes praying, we are probably tuning into the brewing storm and wild winds outside. Jesus says in John that the spirit is like the wind. We cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going, but we can use our senses to hear and see that the wind is active. We can hear it blowing and being active. So it is with the spirit and those born of the spirit. We cannot tell where it comes from or what the spirit might do, but we do know the spirit is active. Let's have high expectations of ourselves and God's active spirit within us. Sometimes we settle for so little as disciples of Jesus. However, the spirit is active and seeking to reach lost and broken people, we only need to ask to be filled up and willing to allow God to use us and overflow onto those we reach. How amazing would it be to see our young people overwhelmed by God's love and sold out for his kingdom. Let's EXPECT this as vessels of God's spirit. Let's pray into this and ask God to help us to be faithful in whatever he is calling us into.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Dear Lord God, we bring before You Lighthouse Youth Ministry and the dreams and hopes of the young people and the leadership team. Lord, their desire is to worship you with their whole lives and to invite many new disciples into Your Kingdom. Lord Jesus Christ, would you give that team wisdom, insight and courage as they seek to follow hard after You. Lord, please amaze us at Your power to speak into the lives of many local young people and draw them into the fellowship of Your saints. Amen

I love the image of a lighthouse, the light piercing through the darkness and people being drawn towards the light. Today though, I was thinking how a lighthouse is a place of protection and safety in a storm. This week has seen several people crying out for a place of safety and help, people in a state of distress with mental health issues. I was thinking about how we have to be active, and show people how the youthgroup is just that, a place of safety and protection ....especially after the year we have all been through. George

At the start of my hour I was worshipping and using Job 38-40 where God speaks. But as a result this verse from Isaiah came strongly to mind so I have been praying for God's thoughts and God's ways to be revealed through the plans for Lighthouse:
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,

so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9

Hi everyone,
Please can i ask within our chain of prayers today that you remember a man named Richard within your prayers. He was rushed into hospital yesterday night & they have further diagnosed him with acute leukemia. My family are in utter shock and distress, so you're prayer for him today especially would be so appreciated. Please pray for peace and strength for Rich and also that he would know how much God loves him.
Thank you.
Brooke.

1. Silence - Difficult sometimes, But switching off devices and tuning into God, who he is and where he dwells can be awesome!
2. Bible - Using verses of scripture to help you focus on God and what you're praying for. God might highlight a verse to you that is prophetic or insightful into what we're specifically praying for.
3. Fasting - Going without something for the day, a select amount of time or the slot you're praying for can also be good to direct all your attention and devotion to God. This might be some kind of food, or giving up social media!
4. Worship - as we enter into pray it's important to worship God and remember who he is. Worship might help you to focus, or God might lead you into singing, or he might be putting a song on your heart.
5. Journalling - Please write down anything God might be saying to you and keep a record. you might want to write out a verse, a song a prayer or words God is giving to you
6. Art/drawing - You might also feel inspired to draw or paint. God might be giving you a vision to draw, or he might be asking you to express your prayers in this form. Please take a picture of drawings/art and upload to this page if possible.

Please use this space to upload any videos, images, words or anything God is showing you! It would be amazing to look over this page on Sunday afternoon and see lots of different answers to prayers.

Thank you
