Get Your Prayers Published in a New Teen Prayer Book
Share your faith. Submit your prayers. Help others pray.
Sometimes, life explodes with excitement; other times life sucks everything from you. God cares about both and is waiting to hear from you. Are you ready for that kind of relationship?
Prayer is the lifeline of faith. It keeps us connected to God when everything else seems disconnected. However, regardless of how the ups and downs of daily life go, prayer is the lifeline to keeping faith alive in our lives. But, we need each other!
Liz Halfmann, a recent high school graduate who was involved in Life Teen, is currently compiling a book of prayers for teens entitled, Ups and Downs: Prayers By & 4 Teens, to be published by Liguori Publications. Liz invites all teens between the ages of 14 and 18 to submit prayers for publication in this book.
Please consider submitting prayers relating to any of the following themes:
- Searching for answers or questioning your faith
- Feeling unhappy, apathetic, and upset with Life and/or Faith
- HANGING ON to priorities in the midst of life’s chaos
- Finding Happiness, Contentment in Life; Living FULLY ALIVE with God
Prayers can take any format including, but not limited to:
- Original poems and personal song lyrics
- One or two line statements or questions
- Stream of consciousness
- Original artwork (including photography and graphic design)
- Short personal narratives
Regardless of the ups and downs life throws at you each day, you will find a prayer theme that matches where you are now or where you have been in the past. Feel free to submit about both present experiences and those of the past where you have discovered God by listening to Him in prayer.
Selected submissions will be published in Ups and Downs: Prayers By & 4 Teens. Authors of published submissions will not only see their name in print, but will also receive two complimentary copies of the prayer book. Multiple submissions ok. When submitting prayer, please include the prayer’s intended theme.
