Making a Prayer-Filled Plan to Live Out God's Love
Prayer helps young people deepen their connection with God and think about the way they live out faith intentionally. Through this prayer journaling activity, you’ll lead your group to reflect on how it feels to be loved by God, and discuss the most essential commandments Jesus gives us: love God, love others, and love ourselves. Then, through journaling, you’ll guide students to identify a personal goal around loving God, others, or themselves this week. Your teens can try this exercise any time they want to refocus and make Jesus’ words in Matthew 22:37-39 a priority in their lives.
