Prayer for VBS

Prayer for VBS

Vacation Bible School

is often

the only place and time

when some children

find out about

Jesus.

Below we have

Vacation Bible School Prayer.

(A printable version at the bottom of the page.)

Let's pray

that

VBS

is

life-changing

and

---

God wants to do

AMAZING

Things

at VBS!

We are praying for the

children,

staff,

and

parents.

Heavenly Father,

I lift up prayer for VBS.

I pray for the safety of all who will come to VBS.

I pray for each child who will come to VBS.

I pray that each child will feel loved by the teachers and staff - AND by you, God.

I pray that each child will be complimented, encouraged, and will feel valued and affirmed.

I lift up prayer that each child will feel as though he or she belongs and is an important part of the group.

I pray that the refreshments are yummy, the arts & crafts are fun, the songs are uplifting, the Bible stories are inspiring, and the games & activities are enjoyable.

I ask that each child would come to know Jesus in a closer way.
Lord, for those who are ready, I pray that they will boldly receive Jesus as their Savior and Lord.

I lift up prayer that the children will be able to put all their problems aside when they walk in the door of the church so that they can focus on the lessons and fully enjoy the experience.

I pray that each child will get the maximum benefit from coming to VBS.

I lift up prayer for the staff.

I pray that the staff will intentionally be patient, gentle, and loving. I pray that you would give the staff strength and energy while inspiring them to be enthusiastic.

I pray that you would give the staff wonderful ideas and great resources.

I pray that all the staff will feel good -  physically, mentally, and emotionally -  each day.

I pray that all the staff will leave critical attitudes  - and attitudes of frustration and irritation  - outside the church building  or better yet  at the cross.

I pray blessings for all those who do preparation work  for VBS. I pray for those who prepare the food, prepare the lessons, prepare the stage & room decorations, prepare the crafts, pray for the event, pick out the music, buy the necessary supplies, do the public relations work, find the volunteers, etc. May each person who participates feel important, loved, and appreciated.

Guide each of the VBS team members to work together so that they make VBS fun for the children.

And I ask that you stir each of the VBS team members to yield to your daily drawing of each of them toward a closer relationship with you.

Lord, I ask that this VBS would be life-changing to each teen and adult who volunteers to help.

I lift up prayer for the parents.

I pray that the parents of the children will be receptive to all the good things that the children learn at VBS.
I pray that the parents will welcome hearing their child sing the songs and retell the stories.

I pray that you would inspire the parents to become more focused on you in their daily life. I pray that the parents would yield to you as you stir them to grow and mature in you. I pray that the parents would yield to you as you stir them to daily teach their children more about you.

Lord,

I pray that all the efforts given to this VBS

will yield

great fruit -

fruit of feeling loved by YOU

and

fruit of getting closer to YOU.

May your loving hand guide each part of this experience.

In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen

Loving Lord,

I ask that you would inspire people

to pray for VBS.

In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen

Revelation 3:20 

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:

if any man hear my voice, and open the door,

I will come in to him,

and will sup with him, and he with me.

~

The Greek word translated "sup" means

To eat or To dine

-

Loving Lord,

Let this VBS experience 

set the table

for a lifetime of 

dining with you, Lord.

Amen
