God is anything but boring. For many students, however, prayer is a dull and tedious exercise. Not because they lack the desire to speak with their Creator, but because of a lack of creativity involved in the process. This valuable tool offers innovative ideas (40 unique experiences!) for leading dynamic prayer encounters (by using silence, meditation, motion, art, and more!) that will transform youths' commitment to conversing with God. These prayer ideas involve all five senses and are about doing, not just sitting. Each is designed to make prayer more powerful, experiential and rewarding. Stir up your youths' passion for prayer!
