Youth Festival — Prayers for Youth (1)
Grant to us, O Lord our God, the spirit of courage and hopefulness. Teach us so to live that we may be enabled to help others to face life more bravely. Let no shadows oppress our spirits, lest our gloom should darken the light by which others have to live. Say to our souls, “Be of good courage; fear not, for I am with thee”; and keep us ever strong and joyful in the consciousness of thy presence; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
