Youth Prayer Idea: Add-on Prayers

I found this idea on how to structure a time of individual and group prayer among a group of youth. It seems like the impact gets greater the more students are involved, but I'd be willing to give it a try with a smaller group of students, too. Make sure you check out the full post on the idea from RETHINKING YOUTH MINISTRY:

Each person was invited to go sit by themselves somewhere in the worship space and pray silently for several minutes for whatever was on their card. Next, we invited each person to join with someone sitting near them, share their pray cards, and pray for those concerns together. Next, each group of two joined with a group of four. We continued the process until the entire group was sitting together in a circle and we closed with a prayer together. It was a moving experience, both to pray with just one other person and also to share the different ways each of us articulated prayers for the various concerns.
