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.
