Prayer For Camping

Dear Lord,

We thank you for this opportunity to go camping. We know that it will be a great experience and we are very excited to spend time with one another. We know that you have a plan for us and we trust in your sovereignty. Please guide us in our time away from home and help us to enjoy the beauty of nature and the wonder of spending time outdoors. In Jesus name we pray, Amen

Dear God,

Thank you for the beautiful weather, and for the opportunity to spend time with my family. Please bless our tents and our sleeping bags, and make sure we’re safe from any danger.

Please also bless those who are camping without a tent, or without the ability to cook their food. Give them the resources they need to survive, and help them to find peace in their lives.

Thank you for this time together with my family. We love you very much!

Dear Lord, we thank you for this beautiful day. We pray for the safety of our loved ones as they travel to their destination, and for the safety of all those who are out camping. May your grace be with them. We pray also for those who have lost their homes, or who have been injured in this storm. Please bring them comfort and peace.

We pray that you would give us the strength to serve you in all things: whether it be in our everyday lives or on a camping trip, we ask that you guide us on our journey to be better people. And we thank you, Lord, for your presence with us today—and every day!

Dear God,

We pray to you today to give us the strength to face all that comes our way as we embark on this camping adventure. We pray for your guidance, comfort and protection. We also ask that you give us a good night’s sleep so we can enjoy each other’s company during the day. We know You are always with us and we thank You for that. Amen

Lord, we thank you for the opportunity to spend time in the great outdoors. We ask for your blessing as we go about our daily activities and for protection from any dangers that may arise.

We pray for safety on the trail, and that we can enjoy our time together in a fun, safe way.

Amen

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen

Dear Lord,

Please protect me while I am on this journey. Be with me in my travels and keep me safe from harm. Give me the strength to make it through these days, whether that be physical or mental strength. Help me remember to be grateful for all of the blessings in my life and remind me of how much you love me.

Amen

praying for the youth camp

Prayer is a big deal at camp! We pray upwards of six times a day together as a community, and more as individuals. Even as camp is quickly approaching, our Head Staff is praying for the staff and campers by name, and for every aspect of this summer to be for His glory.

We believe no amount of prayer is too much! We want God to guide every decision we make and every program we offer. We want the Holy Spirit to be keenly felt the moment a person walks through our gates, and we want your prayers too!

These are just a few specific things we want your prayers for – write them down, put them on your refrigerator, or set a reminder on your phone. By praying for and with us, you can be an active participant in the good that the Lord is doing in this place – we couldn’t be more grateful!

1. Pray for a safe and healthy summer. Camp is a very safe place, and has been for the last 99 years – we never take this for granted! We are constantly checking in to make sure that we are providing the safest environment possible, but we would love your prayers for this summer to be a healthy one. Pray for safety for our activities and our programs, health for campers and staff, and for the nurses and doctors who do so much to keep the camp community happy.
2. Pray for our staff. We are SO thrilled about our staff this summer and know that the Lord has them here for a reason. Pray for them to settle into camp well, for their endurance and energy during the summer, and that they would grow closer to Jesus while they’re here. Pray that God would give them the words and the smiles to meet each camper where she is and to make her feel loved. Pray for our support staff, for the kitchen and maintenance and house keeping crew who work so hard to make camp a special place.
3. Pray for the campers. Coming to camp is a BIG deal! Pray that any pre-camp nerves will wash away, and that each girl would just be excited for the weeks to come. Pray that each girl will meet incredible friends, be supported and loved well by her counselors, grow in the four-fold way and see the gospel clearly while she’s here.
4. Pray for the Head Staff. It is a tremendous privilege to take care of these girls during the summer, and we don’t take it lightly! Pray for wisdom for our Directors as they make each decision during the summer and for the Group Leaders as they take care of each individual camper and counselor.
5. Pray that the glory will be to God. We are a Christ-centered camp, and our number one goal is to glorify God in everything we do. Pray that our 99th summer will be pleasing to Him most of all, and that He would use everything that happens in these gates for His good and His glory. If that happens, our summer will be a success!

Pandemic Prayer For Christian Camping

This pandemic is creating so many challenges for so many people and organizations. Last week I contacted a friend in Boston who has been running a one-week summer camp for kids over the course of several decades. She and her team came to mind as I was thinking and praying about the summer and how ministries are having to make so many adjustments. She told me that they were still trying to have their camp, but that they needed to find a new facility. The beautiful Christian camp they have used every year was closing. . . not just for the summer. . . but permanently. I was stunned. I went to the camp’s website and there it was. . . in big bold letters. . . an announcement that the Covid-19 pandemic had done them in and they were closing for good.

I have many, many friends in the world of Christian camping. I’ve chatted with many of them over the last few weeks and my heart aches for them. So much to navigate right now in terms of their immediate and long-term futures. I’ve committed to praying for Christian camps as they work to navigate these difficult days. This morning, I decided to write a prayer for Christian camps that I can pray each day. I’m sharing it here and invite you all to pray with me. I’m guessing that every single one of us has been touched deeply. . . directly, indirectly, and most-likely both directly and indirectly. . . by the power of Christian camping. And so, let’s continue to pray. . .

Almighty God, our Creator, Sustainer, and Protector, we are grateful for your never-ending presence throughout all of life, and especially as we navigate the unknowns of this current health crisis. We ask that you would visit with your blessing our Christian camps as they struggle to make decisions regarding their near and long-term futures. Lord, these camps have histories as powerful instruments in your hands as they have faithfully served literally millions upon millions of people as a refuge from life’s storms and as a signpost pointing to the Cross of Jesus Christ, many of them for decades and generations. Your Church is larger and stronger because of Christian camps and their legacy.

Yet now, so many Christian camps are wondering if their good work for your Kingdom will be able to continue over the coming summer camp season. Some are wondering if they will be able to remain open next week. . . or even tomorrow. And, we grieve the permanent closing of so many camps already as a result of the pandemic and diminished resources. We boldly ask that where there have already been closings, your healing hand would touch and resurrect that which appears to be without any hope for life.

We pray that you would pour out on camp administrators, camp boards, and camp staff an abundance of your Divine encouragement, hope, and peace. Give them wisdom to make good decisions, and faith to navigate their unknown futures to your glory! Provide an overflow of creativity so that they might find ways to adjust and adapt their valuable ministries to children, teens, and families. . . even if physical presence at camp is not a possibility during the coming summer. And, we pray that you would provide the funding. . . a daily measure of manna and quail. . . that is needed to keep the work of Christian camps moving forward. Give camping leaders the required measure of boldness to make their needs known, and we ask that you would stir the hearts of donors to give sacrificially as an investment in your Kingdom work. Part the high waters of the ocean of pandemic uncertainty, and show them a dry and safe way through to continued life and a future of flourishing for their camp.

Father, as our friends in Christian camping move forward during these difficult and uncertain days, we ask that you would providentially lead them in a path that allows them to maintain their Godly priorities, maintain their dedicated staff, and maintain a strong witness for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. . . in times of both plenty and want. Where priorities should be changed and lessons must be learned, make that clear and give leaders receptive hearts.

Lord, you hold the past, the present, and the future in your hands. We pray that the Christian camps that have served you, your bride, our families, and ourselves so faithfully for so long, would not just survive, but would thrive.

We humbly ask these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

prayers for camp meeting

Dear God,

Thank you for this beautiful day. Thank you for the sun shining on us, and the birds singing in the trees. Thank you for your wonderful creation and all the beauty it holds.

Please bless our journey today and keep us safe as we go camping. Keep us happy and healthy, and help us to be kind to each other.

Help us to remember that nature is your creation and we should honor it by being careful in our travels today. Help us also to remember that we are part of nature, so let’s do our best to take care of it too!

Amen

Healing Verses from Psalms

The Book of Psalms is a collection of cries, prayers and praise. The authors of each chapter experienced every struggle, heartache and fear imaginable. This collection of comforting verses will help guide you toward whole and complete healing. 

• “Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave. Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind.” ~ Psalms 107:19-21
  
• “LORD my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me.” ~ Psalms 30:2
  
• “The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned. The LORD will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.” ~ Psalms 34:17-22
  
• “Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits – who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion.” ~ Psalms 103:2-4

• “I said, “Have mercy on me, LORD; heal me, for I have sinned against you.” ~ Psalms 41:4

• “The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” ~ Psalms 23
  

Healing Miracles of Jesus

Jesus’s healing is for today just as much as it was when he walked the earth and performed miracles of healing the sick and disabled. The Bible tells us that “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” ~ Isaiah 53:5. Jesus can still heal today! 

• “Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them.” ~ Matthew 4:23-24
• “Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness…Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.” ~ Matthew 10:1-8
• “On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” ~ Mark 2:17
• “Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.” ~ Matthew 9:35
• “He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” ~ Mark 5:34
• “One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick. Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.” The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, “Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.” ~ Luke 5:17-24
• “And a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.” ~ Luke 13:11-13
• “One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being carefully watched. There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body. Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?” But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way. Then he asked them, “If one of you has a childor an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?” And they had nothing to say.” ~ Luke 14:1-6
• “Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.” ~ Acts 4:30-31
• “There he found a man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed and had been bedridden for eight years. “Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and roll up your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up.” ~ Acts 9:33-34
• “You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached – how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.” ~ Acts 10:37-38
• “As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.” ~ Luke 12:17-19
• “While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing. His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?” Some claimed that he was. Others said, “No, he only looks like him.” But he himself insisted, “I am the man.” “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked. He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.” ~ John 9:5-11

• “As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them. That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed. The whole town gathered at the door, and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.” ~ Mark 1:29-34
• “While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.” Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.” When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James, and the child’s father and mother. Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.” They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!” Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.” ~ Luke 8:49-56
