Good and loving Creator, you are the author of all that is good and holy.
We ask you to send your Holy Spirit upon our middle school youth
and bless them with your patience,
inspire them with your joy,
and nurture them with your compassion.
In their journey to follow Jesus, encourage them with holiness and peace.
In times of confusion and uncertainty,
guide them with your wisdom and truth.
May the always look to you
for strength and guidance.
We also ask you to send your blessing upon
our JYM:EDGE Program,
allow it to always be a source of inspiration, acceptance, and love.
May all those who minister in this Program walk always in the light of Christ
and bring our young people ever closer
to your son, Jesus.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
