Prayer for Young People

Loving Father
We thank you for young people,
the energy, enthusiasm and potential that they have.
We pray that the obstacles that can hold them back
such as poverty, ill-health, and discrimination, will be removed.
We ask that, inspired by your Spirit, young people
will have courage to speak out for justice,
find solutions to poverty and love their neighbours with word and action.
May you strengthen them with joyful hearts,
give them a vision of your Kingdom here on earth,
and embolden them to act.
Amen
