A Prayer for Our Youth

God and Father, we pray and ask you
to continue to be with young people
as they experience both sickness & health,
sorrow & joy, loneliness and friendship.

Guide and protect them from the dangers
that are ever present in our world today. 

Gracious God, give them and their families the courage
and strength to follow you as they journey through life.

Through the power of the Holy Spirit, may they come
to know and experience your loving care and mercy. 

We make this prayer through Christ, our Lord,

Amen.
