For the Influence of God-Fearing Men on Younger Generations

Lord God,
Our society is seeing a real need for mentorship for young men. They need strong male role models who provide an alternative to counter the narrative of toxic masculinity. Raise up solid mentors who welcome the opportunity to positively influence the younger generation. Make them first men of THE Word, and second, men of their word. Let them model godliness in every area of life, leading with humility, integrity, drive, self-discipline, compassion, and grace. Direct young men to see these examples in other men and seek to emulate them. Move godly women to praise and celebrate these relationships whenever they are evident, realizing that the influence of God-fearing men on young males will bear desirable fruit in families, relationships, and society in general. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Raise up Men to Lead

Lord God,
Raise up believing men everywhere to take seriously your charge to be spiritual leaders. Some are lukewarm, lazy or apathetic. Others are insecure, lack confidence, or don’t know the first step. Still others are too comfortable passing off their God-given responsibility to their wives and other women. Work repentance and renewal in the hearts of Christian men everywhere and empower them with your Holy Spirit. 

Eliminate their indifference. Replace their timidity with trust. Guide them with your Word. Place other spiritually mature men in their lives to model and mentor what godly leadership looks like when men step into the roles you created them to fill. Let their impact be felt in marriages, families, congregations, and even whole communities as you stir up in them a spiritual fervor to hold high the banner of your gospel. Bless them and produce abundant fruit through their efforts in tending to your kingdom.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Positive Influences

Almighty God,
Thank you for the leaders you have placed in my life to shape me into the man I am today, and to continue influencing me as I grow and mature. You have given me parents, coaches, teachers, pastors, family members, and many others who have left a great impression on me over the years. Lead me to express my gratitude to them for the way you have used them to leave such a positive impact in my life. 

I also want to follow in their footsteps and be a blessing to younger men who need positive role models. Display in me the characteristics of a godly man to provide them with a solid example. Where I fall short, let me model repentance and my own need for grace and forgiveness, so others see the power of the gospel at work through me. In these ways and many others, use me to demonstrate that strong Christian men are first and foremost followers of Christ.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
