Youth are the future of any people, nation, church, organization and all.
They have strength, power, vibrancy, skill and knowledge.
They have everything that makes for greatness and success; they are the next generation.
But they have many problems too.
They lack wisdom most of the time.
They have character problem more often than not; exuberance, pride, anger, self, over indulgence and lots of many other problem.
That’s why you have to pray for them; and that’s why these prayer points for youth are very relevant.
The Bible says to not let any man despise your youth; it also says that the glory of a youth is his strength. (See 1 Timothy 4:12, KJV and Proverbs 20:29, NIV)

So, now is the time to take prayer for the youth of our nation serious.
