I pray that the youth would know of God's love for them and that they would be able to experience a fresh sense of their belovedness. There's so much that tries to distract them from the truth - games, netflix, social media, etc. that it's hard to hear the voice of their heavenly father, but my prayer is that they would be able to pause and hear from God during this time.

I pray that they won't listen to the growing amount of voices in their lives that tell them religion and Christianity isn't real, but that they can either discover for the first time or grow in their faith and come out of this retreat having good reasons for faith, and be encouraged to keep seeking.

Pray for the Youth who are struggling with being online - sucked into social media, gaming, and loneliness. I pray that they can find joy and something new in the retreat about Christianity; to be open to it and to see what life is. Pray that even though they may have different negative thoughts/views about life - it's just work work work or there's no meaning in it - the retreat can really cast those away and they can really see the true reality of life.

I pray that Jesus opens the minds of the students who are attending and give the desire seek Him out or at least begin to investigate spiritual matters that will ultimately lead them Christ. Whether this event is a pivotal moment in the spiritual journeys of some or planting seeds for others, I pray that God can use it all for His glory and that all these students will, one day, come to love and submit to Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

I pray that our youth, lost as they are to gaming and the seemingly endless hole of media and the internet, would have a spiritual hunger and revival.

I pray for my friend and her sister as their mother recently passed away after fighting cancer for 5+ years. My friend's sister is a Sophomore in High school and is taking it hard. I pray she and the whole family would turn and cling onto Jesus during this time. It's a reminder for us that behind the screen and the smile, these youth are going through real struggles.
