Prayers written for Scout Camp

Heavenly Father
We thank you for bringing us here to this Group Camp.
We thank you for the opportunity to worship you now.
We thank you for all the things that we like about camp;
the activities we have enjoyed, the people we like being with.
Also, we hold up before you the things which we have found difficult, the things we have found challenging and scary.
We pray that you will take all these things and use them to draw us closer to you.
Lord in your mercy, Hear our prayer

Heavenly Father,
We thank for this new day.
We thank you for all the things we can do today, and all the people we can meet.
We pray that this day we might see your love for us in all the things that we do and in all the people that we meet.
Help us to agents of your love for other people in everything we do and say today.
Lord in your mercy, Hear our prayer

Heavenly Father
We know that in your great love you created us in your image and likeness and made us good.
Despite this we know that we sometimes do things which are bad; things which spoil the wonder of your creation in us and in other people.
We are sorry Lord that we do these things.
We thank you that Jesus died to set us free from all evil.
We pray that You will help us to live in harmony with other people and with all your creation, so that we grow to become what you truly made us to be, and so that we can attain the fullness of happiness that you so want us to have.
Lord in your mercy, Hear our prayer
