Are you up for it?: Life Teen Summer Prayer Challenge

Life Teen Summer Prayer Challenge:

• Week 1 (07/04 – 07/10): Pray the Rosary

You are being challenged.

Not to a light saber duel. Or a Nerf gun war. And as fun as it sounds to try and drink a gallon of milk … that’s not what I mean either.

The challenge is prayer. You know you have free time between Full House re-runs and weeding the garden for your Mom, so why not use it to grow in your relationship with God?

Prayer can sometimes seem boring, lonely, or hard. It’s easy to feel like it’s pointless and no one is listening. Even Jesus felt abandoned in prayer at times. (Luke 22:43-44)

We all struggle on some level with prayer, but when we pray with others, we can be encouraged and strengthened in our prayer. Summer is the perfect opportunity to spend more time with friends. That’s why we’ve created the Life Teen Summer Prayer Challenge.

Your Challenge, if You Choose to Accept It

Each week this summer we’ll be posting a new Summer Prayer Challenge. Your job is to get as many of your friends together as possible and take a picture while you’re doing the challenge for the week. Send me an email, cmead@lifeteen.com, with the picture and a couple sentences telling me how your prayer challenge went. You can share your experience too on our Facebook page and by using the hashtag #LTPrayerChallenge on twitter.

Each week we will put your stories and pictures together on LifeTeen.com for all of your friends to see. So if it’s been your life-long dream to have your face on LifeTeen.com … this is your lucky day.

We want to see what you’ve got. So get down on your knees, lift your voices to God and throw your energy into something that matters. (I’m not saying Nerf guns don’t matter, cause they rock.)
