Introduction
Youth are often seen as impressionable and therefore, vulnerable. It is our responsibility, then, to provide the best possible example for them and to show them that there is hope in life. In this prayer for youth meeting, we will explore how God can help us see the good in others and give us hope for the future.
Purpose and Objectives
The purpose of this blog is to motivate youth to come and pray together. The objectives are to help youth develop a closer relationship with God, develop a prayer life, and grow in their faith.
Youth Prayer Guidelines
– Firstly, start by finding a time that you and your friends can all fit in one place and focus on the Lord.
– Secondly, make sure you are focusing on the Lord rather than each other during the prayer time.
– Finally, be sure to keep a journal of what happened during the prayer time so you can continue to grow in your relationship with God.
Prayer Guidelines

Opening Prayer
Hello everyone and welcome to the prayer blog for our Youth Meeting!
We are so excited to be able to offer this service as it is something that we know our kids need and appreciate.
Our prayer intention for this week’s Youth Meeting is that all participants would be filled with the Holy Spirit, have a powerful worship experience and come away disciples of Jesus Christ.
Please join us in prayer as we open our gathering for the week.
Blessing of the Food
Dear Youth,
As we gather to share a meal today, may the Lord bless and provide for us. May our food reflect His love and bring us closer to Him. In His name we pray. Amen.
The Call to Worship
In the Sacrament of Holy Baptism, our Lord calls us to Worship. “Be baptized every one of you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19). Worship is at the heart of who we are as followers of Christ.
Worship is not a one-time event that happens once we become Christians. It’s something we should continue to do throughout our lives. Young people can make a positive impact in worship by setting an example for their peers and showing respect for God’s house.
When it comes to prayer, young people can learn a lot by studying Scripture. Praying with gratitude can help bring peace and joy into our lives. Prayer can also be used to ask for forgiveness, to seek guidance, and to request God’s help in times of difficulty.
Young people should also participate in religious education, which provides teachings on biblical truths and Christian teachings. This type of education helps equip young people to live faithfully according to Jesus Christ.
Prayer is important because it connects us with God. When we pray, we open up our hearts and allow Him into our lives. Prayer is powerful because it can change us
The Lord’s Prayer
The Lord’s Prayer is the most well-known prayer in the Bible. It is a petition for help from God. The prayer is made up of nine short sentences.
1. Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
2. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
3. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
4. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
5. Amen.
6. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you;
7.. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
8.. Moreover when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites; for they disfigure their faces that they may appear unto men to fast: Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
9.. But whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted: And he that shall exalt himself shall be abased.”
The Psalmody
When Youth Group gathers in a room, they come together with a common goal: to connect with God. But connecting with God isn’t easy. It requires time, effort, and prayer. Prayer is the key to unlocking God’s potential in our lives, and it’s an essential part of Youth Group.
One way that Youth Group can pray for each other is by singing Psalms. Psalms are a series of prayers that were written by various authors over many centuries. They’re filled with insights about life, love, and God. When we sing Psalms together, we can tap into these insights and pray for each other.
Here are five helpful tips for praying through Psalms:
1) Start with a specific request. When you pray through a Psalm, start by focusing on what you want from God. What do you need from Him? What do you hope to gain from reading this particular psalm? This will help you stay focused during your prayer time.
2) Get connected to the psalm’s author. When you pray through a Psalm, try to get connected to the author who wrote it. What was their life like? What were their experiences like? How did they feel
The Evocation
Prayer for Youth Meeting
Saint Dominic, the patron saint of youth, is invoked in this prayer. “You who through your priestly ordination signify the order of consecrated life and share in its spirit, help us to imitate your example and live in a way that will bring happiness and peace to our generation.”
Benediction
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
Blessed are those who listen to the Lord,
who attend to his house,
who walk in obedience to him.
Blessed are those who heed his commands and seek his presence.
