Hearts that yearn to help the world

How do our prayers about the issues we face in our own lives make an impact on the world around us? This summer, the college interns at The Mother Church got to thinking and talking about this question—and shared their prayers on various problems of personal, national, and global concern.

I’ve heard from lots of people that my generation has the hardest time finding work after graduation; that there aren’t enough jobs out there for everyone who is looking. 

In my own life, I’ve found prayer to be a helpful way of combating these negative predictions. As I’ve prayed, I’ve focused on getting rid of doubt—doubt about finding success, doubt about whether my parents would still be proud of me, doubt about my own capabilities.
