Father of everlasting compassion, you see your children growing up in an uncertain and confusing world……
There is a beautiful prayer for our children and youngsters in the Anglican prayer book that reads as follows, “Father of everlasting compassion, you see your children growing up in an uncertain and confusing world: show them the path of life, enable them to triumph over failure and frustration, to hold fast their faith in you and to keep alive their joy in your creation, through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
This prayer was written 32 years ago, and it seems as though the times and uncertainty of this world is more confusing than ever. Young people and children are continually faced with so many pressures, failures, and frustrations that they did not ask for.
As the Anglican church it is our duty to ensure that our youngsters grow in a church environment that is different from this confusing world. It is our duty to create the atmosphere that they belong somewhere and that they can and will triumph over confusion, failure, and frustration. Our chapelry St Monica’s in Kwanokhuthula have made this possible for our youth. Although our youth face many challenges, the Servers Guild together with its leaders of this organization is an example, that children and youngsters do have a place in this confusing world. We applaud them for making a small difference in the lives of our youngsters.
