For Your Faith
“I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith

I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We’re on our knees
We’re on our knees”

Hillsong United: Hosanna

These lyrics have been speaking to me a lot in the past month or so. We kicked off January with an incredible retreat, and then last Sunday we had a full room of young people praising God and yearning for Jesus. I can tell you that the Holy Spirit is onto something big here.

We’ve been talking with the students about the need to literally “hit our knees” in prayer, and get rid of some of the distractions in our daily lives. See this great letter from our worship leader Pete Haack for some of the thoughts he had following the retreat. We’ve also been talking to them about the role that their cell phones and social media play in their lives. I think we can all agree that it doesn’t necessarily equate to “prayerful”, and that sometimes that little phone in itself can take up a big portion of our day.

We encouraged the students this week to take increasing their prayer time in small increments–five minutes in the morning and five minutes in the evening to touch base with God (perhaps on their knees right beside their beds). We completed this study on YDisciple. I encourage you to check out what your students are learning. Log in (upper right hand corner) is stjohns-lawrence and the password is ydstjohns. Click on the right hand link: “Intellectual Formation”, then “YD Talks.” We worked through the information in the fairst Prayer series: “Why Pray?” Feel free to go on and watch the videos yourselves and engage your students over the next few weeks before your student comes to small group the week of January 28.

As parents, YOU guys are the biggest formators of faith for your teen. Maybe prayer is a struggle for you too, so help your teen to know that it is okay to struggle in this journey. One thing that has really helped me “stay on track” this semester has been to sign up for an hour of silent adoration at St. John. That way, my prayer time is scheduled, and I don’t have to even think twice about “when I’m going to fit it all in.” I encourage you to do the same; contact Lou Musante at if you are interested in volunteering for this ministry! I can’t say it enough: Our relationship with God will not grow if we do not spend time with Him in prayer! Consistent prayer will help you to put all things in your life in the right order, and will truly grant you peace of heart through Jesus Christ.

Hope that the beginning of the semester madness is starting to wind down; contact me with questions about any of these events or about getting your teen plugged into our small group ministry! Sorry that I had so much to say this week; the Holy Spirit is just doing SUCH great things! Thanks for letting me have the best job in the universe. Love you all.

Agape,
Jen Meitl Conrad
