God of all places and all time;
Go with our young people into this new year.
Be with them as they journey and explore.
May they know that they are in our hearts and in our prayers,

even though we may not see them so much for a while.
Keep them safe.
May all their adventures be with you as their companion
and when they return from time to time
may we learn from what they have discovered of your world.
May they find the space to meet you
In your love always
Amen.
