Here I Am, Lord: A Prayer Journal For Teens

Life is hard. Life is fragile. Life is Sacred. It deserves to be handled prayerfully. Stories and prayers for teens and the adults who love them.

Teens pray. They don't talk about it much, but they hardly every let a day get by without praying. They pray about their personal concerns, they pray for their families and friends, and they pray for the world. They ask God hard questions. They shudder and cry and rage for only God to see. They reflect on decisions they are making and the things they are feeling. Teenagers are fierce about praying. Their prayer is strong, gritty, practical, and idealistic. That's the kind of prayer offered in Here I Am, Lord.

Here I Am, Lord is designed for Catholic teens to use as a guide in their praying. In this exhilarating collection of stories and prayers, the authors help teens find new ways to pray.

Here I Am, Lord does not offer a prayer method, but a companion to help jumpstart the prayer experience while encouraging teens to pray about the big issues they face every day.
