This new blog is designed for people who are serious about prayer. I am excited to see what God will do with a youth group that communicates with Him. Many of us have really grown allowing God to communicate with us through His word; but if you are like me, then it is not as easy to communicate back to Him.
As I have explained many times before... Communication is a two way street. It is great to read Gods word, but just as much as we want to hear from Him, HE WANTS TO HEAR FROM US!
So, We here at Suncoast Youth Group, believe that Prayer is important enough to design a place where we can talk about it, talk about our prayer requests, and most importantly: Talk to God.
I am excited about growing with each of you in this area of Daily Communication with our God through Prayer!

I think this is a great idea! I definately will be posting my prayer request all the time.
One of my friend's mom has terminal heart failure. I don't know all about it but she has a bubble of blood on her heart. None of the doctors want to go in there and take it out because she has a artificial aorta. It's complicated. Anyways, if the blood bubble gets to 6cm then she will die. And right now it's at 4.6cm. So it's very possible for her to die before my friend graduates.
Also, pray for one of my family members. Me and this person used to be so close like best friends and now we rarely ever talk. It all started because this person chose the wrong group of friends. Peer pressure is a tough thing to overcome for this person. This person has grown away from God, the family, and good friends. Please pray that God will get ahold of this persons heart!
And I think that it is important for all of the teens and even the chaperones to go to the Wilds with an open heart! We need to expect God to do something great within our lives. Whether it's to stop hanging around with a certain group of friends, start a bible study, or go into the ministry fulltime. Whatever God tells us to do at camp, we need to listen and obey! God will do something amazing in our lives if we ask Him and then let Him.
Great Job Kacey!! I am so thankful for this idea and this opportunity to pray for each other!
I am not sure how we are going to administrate this, but for now we will just do what you did... post a comment for others to see with each requests.
I am proud of you!
I have a few prayer requests of my own:
1. Pray for my Dad:
- He is having surgery on both shoulders while we are at the wilds. Pray that He recovers quickly.
- Pray for my Dad with His Job situation. He is not being treated fairly and He might be accepting a new job.
2. Pray for the teenagers going to camp. Pray that we will have a safe, and wonderful time!! Also, Pray that God will do amazing things in our youth group! Pray that He will draw each of our teenagers to Himself!
3. Pray for the upcoming school year! I am praying that our youth group will be strong through the school year and grow spiritually!
4. Pray that we will have a strong core group of teenagers who are willing to come together and Grow (like miracle grow) in Christ!
5. Pray for Me and My Family. We are so blessed, but I know Satan doesnt like that. So, Pray that God will protect us and keep us faithfully serving Him!!!!!!
Thanks for praying for all of these!

Also, I have a couple friends who are switching over to public school this year, and I pray that they will find some good, Godly friends to hang out with and will stay close to God and not get sucked in to the world.
