By Victoria Jonah

Teens cannot compete with the speed of change without constantly communicating with God and building more trust in Him.
For smooth study, this book has been divided into sections, each section having several chapters and each chapter having a column for personalized prayer points and matching bible verses for easy meditation.
Appropriate illustrations are included to awaken the teens imagination and meaning of seemingly difficult words are included to make prayer lively and more meaningful.
Teenagers Prayer Book as character formative book is also an eye opener to how enjoyable teenage hood can be, when God is involved in every decision made.

Oh Lord, I come before you to ask for forgiveness of my sins. I know that I am a sinner. I ignore your words a times and do what I feel is right, despite the fact that you do not want me to. I ask Lord that you cleanse me from every form of unrighteousness and make me whole.

I also pray that you give me the grace to live above sin in Jesus name I pray, amen.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
