Cracked: 4-Week Youth Ministry Curriculum on Prayer & Partnership with God

Prayer can feel mysterious or awkward to many students. Cracked offers a fresh, gospel-centered perspective that makes conversation with God accessible and transformative. Over four weeks, this youth ministry curriculum empowers teens to see prayer as a two‑way relationship with a loving Father who invites them into deeper intimacy and partnership in His work.

Series Overview

Each session provides teaching grounded in Scripture, guided discussions, and creative applications to help your students move beyond rote prayers and into genuine relationship. They’ll discover how vibrant prayer changes the way they talk to God and respond to His presence in everyday life.

What Students Will Learn

• Engaging God in Prayer (Week 1): Students learn that prayer isn’t solely a conversation. It’s engagement with God (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
• Accepting God’s Invitation (Week 2): Looking at passages in Luke 10 and Matthew 25, students will discover that prayer is accepting God’s invitation into intimacy.
• Extending the Work (Week 3): John 1:14-17 tells us that Jesus began work full of grace and truth, and has passed that work onto us. Prayer can be seen as extending the work of Jesus.
• Notice Encounters (Week 4): Genesis 28 shows us that God is present in all things. So we’ll have a far closer relationship with Him and a better prayer life when we notice our everyday encounters with God.
