500 Prayers For Young People

Here are 500 prayers for every occasion. Prayers for relationships; for problems; for saying thank you; for crying out in anger or pain; for times of spiritual dryness; for times of starting again. They can be used for worship together, and for worship alone. They can open up new possibilities, and help to bring a bad day to a better close. The 500 prayers will be split into thematic sections, including: - Seasonal (Including: Christmas, Easter, Pentecost) - Thanksgiving; - Praise and worship; School (including exams, bullying, relationship with teachers) - Relationships (including friendships, sex, and boyfriend/girlfriend) - Justice (including prayers about the environment, poverty etc) - Knowing God (including prayers for spiritual gifts) - Pain and problems (including bereavement and illness). The prayers themselves will be numbered but continually varied - featuring a mix of ancient prayers (approx 20%), and prayers written by the author and by young people. They are written in a variety of styles, and are preceded by a short introduction where necessary. An extensive index is included alongside features to help young people in developing a prayer life.
