A Leaders Prayer/files/Departments/Youth Ministries/Images/Prayer/prayinghands.jpg

Scripture reference: Matthew 14:19-20 (KJV)
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

Lesson Prep: Loaf of bread and grape juice.
/files/Departments/Youth Ministries/Images/Prayer/Prayer/bread.jpgDear father in heaven, after you have blessed us and we are broken from serving our families, ministries, jobs and life’s demands, "gather the fragments". Lord, touch us again and gather the fragments of our minds, emotions, hearts and spirit. Gather the /files/Departments/Youth Ministries/Images/Prayer/grapejuice.jpgfragments of our past, present, broken dreams and ministry pursuits. Lord, where we are scattered makes us whole, restore, revive and refresh us. Breathe life in us, heal the battle scars and make us healthy vessels (leaders), that we may again become your "bread of life" to a generation.

Prayer Activity/Application: A "personal" communion service for healing and commitment to this generation. 1 Corinthians 11:24-26 (KJV)
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

"Diving- Deeper" Prayer Activity:
Gather all of your leadership team (youth workers) and serve each other in communion. Have each person bring his/her own loaf of bread as symbol of their commitment to being blessed and broken for this generation.
