I had lunch with a participation in the Chicago Occupy movement and his dad (who happens to be a pastor). HIs father asked me to invite intercessors to pray for the Occupy movement. Regardless of your perspective, intercession will play a huge role in determining the absence or presence of Christ ~
Youth groups may be especially prepared to pray for:
- Fair coverage by the media
- Safety with each other and outside forces (police, intruders)
- The presence of truth and wisdom in dialog and decision-making (the movement, so far, is shaped by grassroots opinion and is respectful of each person to share their perspective)
- Ford continued mutual respect and a love your neighbor culture among the Occupy communities
- For the presence of Christ and ears tuned into the leading of the Holy Spirit
- Ask for involved Christ-followers to live and speak the message of Christ
