youth group, prayer is the key!

Regarding my wonderings last week about the youth, well they all came back (and one who had stopped coming cause he was the only boy came as well because other new boy told him to) .

And I actually had a really good evening with them. It is so important to remember that in this working in churches thing we will always have struggles and hard times and these will bring us closer to God. In awareness of this I spent a good 20+ minutes (while walking the dog) praying for the group as a whole, the other leader and each individual group member. I thanked God for them and all they brought to the group and I tried to think at least one positive about every member and it really helped.

I'm not saying I don't still have trials with them and that I do things that don't always work but it was a good evening and we all enjoyed ourselves (well, I did anyway!).

So my recommendation is get praying and think about the good stuff, it makes such a difference!
