Tonight I talked with a friend who told me a story of how a group of kids learned about the power of prayer. Every year the youth group participates in a 30-hour Fast during Lent. They have nothing but bread and water for 30 hours and at the same time raise money for the local food pantry. It incorporates Lenten practices, hunger awareness, social justice, and prayer all together. The group meets in the church and stays overnight in the facilities. During the evening, they participate in activities and prayer. My friend had made them some bread to help keep up their strength and stay within the Fast. She made her way over to the church to deliver it. When she met up with the group, the leader said that they had just finished praying for some bread – and then she showed up with some. What a great lesson.

I Found God today in a lesson on the power of prayer.
