Inside: The best prayers for teenagers to help ensure they are guided.
Being a teenager is a very confusing time in our lives. As adults, we know what it was like and how hard it was. Now as our children get older, we have to watch from the outside just as our parents before us had to, and it is HARD.
All you want to do is protect your kids from the things in this world that are hard, hurtful, and uncomfortable but we cannot always do this.
As they get older it is important to instill a foundation of trust in their higher power, because we will not always be there to protect them.
If you are looking for some prayers that you can say on a daily basis to connect with your higher power about your teens and their needs, then look at the list down below. I compiled some of the best prayers for teenagers that are precise and to the point.
These will help give YOU a sense of security during this beautiful time of change and growth. Take a look!
