FUGE Camp Prayer Guide

As the student ministry goes off to summer camp, we ask you to partner with us in prayer for them. Jesus tells us in Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” So, in faith, let’s ask God to work in mighty ways this week at camp.

Here are some specific things you can pray for each day while the students are at camp:

• Monday
  • As the students leave, let’s pray for safe travels on the way to camp. 
  • Let’s also pray for the camp staff as they prepare to lead these students this week. Let’s pray that God would give them wisdom and guide them through the Holy Spirit. 
  • Lastly, let’s pray that God would start softening hearts and preparing the students for what he has planned for them. Let’s pray that the students would not be distracted, but rather they would be excited for what this week has in store for them. 

• Tuesday
  • Today is the first full day of camp, so let’s pray that everything runs smoothly. 
  • Let’s also pray that throughout this week students would understand, more and more, who Jesus is and what he has done for them. 
  • Lastly, let’s pray for students to build strong relationships with their small group leaders, roommates, and other students. 

• Wednesday
  • Students will spend time studying the Bible each day at camp. Let’s pray that throughout this week, God would give each student a love for the Bible. 
  • Let’s pray that students would agree with Psalm 19:9-10. “9 Reverence for the Lord is pure, lasting forever. The laws of the Lord are true; each one is fair. 10 They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb.”
  • Let’s pray that they would still study the Bible on their own when they get home, and they would make it a daily part of their lives. 

• Thursday
  • Similar to yesterday, students will spend time in prayer daily with their small groups. So, let’s pray that God would give each student a heart of prayer. 
  • Let’s pray that they would understand the importance of prayer and experience the power of prayer. 
  • Let’s pray students would live out Philippians 4:6. “6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.”
  • Just like yesterday, let’s pray that students would still pray on their own when they get home, and they would make it a daily part of their lives. 

• Friday 
  • Today is the last full day of camp. Let’s pray, in faith and boldness, for lost students to be saved and saved students to be sanctified. Let’s pray that no student would leave camp without knowing Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
  • Let’s pray that students would repent of their sin and place their faith in Jesus for the first time!
  • Let’s also pray that saved students would be strengthened in their faith and transformed into the image of Jesus.
  • Let’s pray for God to give students vulnerable hearts, and let’s pray for students to respond to what God has been saying to them all week. 
  • Mega Relay is also tonight, so let’s pray that no student would be injured during activities. 

 

• Saturday 
  • As students head back home, let’s pray for safe travels. 
  • Let’s also pray that camp staff would find some rest and be ready for the next group of students they receive next week. 
  • It is easy for students to get back home and forget about the work God has done in their lives over this past week. So, let’s pray that as students return home they would still be devoted to the Lord. Let’s pray that they continue to listen to what God might be saying to them. 
  • Lastly, let’s pray that students would respond to what God has been saying to them this past week, and that they would share what God has taught them with others.
