PREVENTION AND
PRAYER
Dear Lord - Protector, Provider, Comforter, Blessed are you, O Lord our
God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. You are the Mighty Heavenly Rock
who is our stability and strength in troubled times. You are the Powerful
Creator of all people – each one unique, special, precious in Your sight,
and greatly loved by You. We come in prayer today to express our love for
You and to acknowledge our need for Your wisdom, guidance,
protection, provision, and peace. In John 15:4, You tell us to abide in you.
Open our understanding of how to abide in you more closely. Show us
how to walk with greater courage, greater calmness and greater
compassion. Continually remind us to choose to be patient, kind, and
thankful. May we grow each day in the understanding of how to move
through this time as Mighty Men and Women of God. In Jesus' name we
pray, Amen.

more dangerous and illegal drugs.

advertisements, more and more
Filipinos including teenagers are
getting hooked on this vice.
Alcoholism in the Philippines is
evident. It is said that alcohol drinking
is one of the most addictive habits of
Filipinos (Richard Zarco).

smoke? What will you do if they don’t
listen to your advice?

authorities and even with your local
authorities. Remember, alcohol
consumption is prohibited to minors.

know you mean it.
