Prayer for Children and Adolescents in Need

These days, we see young people all around us who feel distress and helplessness due to loneliness, domestic violence, dependence on loved ones, and the effects created by isolation itself.

With this prayer, we remember them, their family, their peers, and the whole community, asking God to help them care for their needs.

God the Father,

You are the Creator of all young lives. You created them out of love, to love, and to have life. Like any good parent, you created them to become strong and healthy people who can pass on their creativity and life. You see their present as well as their future. You know what they need most right now.

Prayers That Move Mountains: Power Prayers That Bring Answers from Heaven

Eckhardt, John (Author)

Lord, strengthen them in these circumstances and surround them with your love and warmth. Grant they will experience Your living presence and always keep their eyes on you.

Jesus, help them get to know you and show them they can always count on you, even if everyone fails. Let them know you are their best friend and that they are never alone in these circumstances. You know best how to get out of their troubles.

Help your beloved children find someone to talk to in their isolation, someone who will accept them in their distress with compassion and openness. Give them the strength to never give up on problems.

Lord, give them courage. Show them how to call for help if they are in danger physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Lord, let their families, friends, teachers, doctors, and others recognize their cries for help.

Lord, give us adults the strength to face everything that is not good in our families or communities. Show us how to help our young people actively. Inspire us to know how to design new programs and ways to help change these lives.

We pray for the parents of these children and adolescents. If it’s needed, let their children’s tears awaken them to their pain so that they can seek help and be healed as well. Give them a new path for their family.

Don’t let anyone’s eyes, ears, and hearts be closed to your loved ones. Show them how to listen to one another. Lord, they should not have to bear these burdens. Please remove them from their shoulders.
