O God, I pray earnestly and ask
you to guide and protect young
people from the dangers that are
ever present in our world today.
Be with them, as they experience both sickness and health, sorrow and joy, loneliness and friendship, success and failure.
Gracious God, give to them the courage and strength to make the right decisions as they journey through life.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit, may they come to know and experience your loving care.
I make this prayer through Christ Our Lord.
