500 Prayers for Young People: Prayers for a New Generation - Softcover

Thank you God that you don't just hear us but are compelled to respond; That you don t just watch, but act; That when we cry out, you intervene. 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 desire and need to pray is created inside each one of us at the same time we get spleens, eyeballs and collarbones,' says Martin Saunders. 'There's nothing special about most of these prayers. But the act of prayer can be very special indeed, and sends humble little people like you and me into the gravitational pull of the all-mighty God. Prayer is one of the most powerful resources in the universe.' This book is primarily for use by young people themselves, but it will also prove a valuable resource for worship leaders and youth workers. It will make an excellent baptism or confirmation gift from a parent, grandparent or godparent.

Martin is editor of Youthwork magazine and author of a number of books including The Ideas Factory, The Think Tank and 500 Prayers for Young People.
