6. The Prayer Engagement

We pray for their needs (what they want prayer for), bless them and pray the love of God over them. God can do much in a very short prayer. If there is more than one student, we will ask each one too, how we can pray for them. 

Here is a sample prayer for Julia who asks for help in her biology class:

"Heavenly Father, I ask in the name of Jesus that you bless Julia today. Help her do well in her Bio class. Thank you that you love her and have given her a good mind to learn and study. I ask that you show her right now how much you love her, and she is your daughter that you love and delight in her. Bless her in such a way she knows you created her to have a close relationship with you, Jesus. In your name I pray, Amen."

Notice that the prayer is short (about 30 seconds) and has an emphasis on the love of God and affirming the value of the individual as created by God. It doesn't take much time for the Holy Spirit to do His work for the individual. When the person says “yes” to prayer, they receive good things from the Lord.
