The prayers on the bubble tube reveal the depths of what's going through these young people's minds.
- that when my mum drinks, she won't get aggressive towards me.
- that my grandad will survive his operation
- that my grandma will finally agree to come and live near us
- help my two friends who are really struggling
- can you please help me get some money before Sunday
- take away her pain please lord
- why does things like this happen? Make it better
- how long will it take for me to learn how to listen to your amazing voice?
- please may you tell me why I am unique
- I wish my mum would listen to me more. I also wish that I could spend more time with her in the week, not just at weekends
- help me to forgive as readily as you have forgiven me
- help me to get over what has happened in my life and help me find out what is wrong with me
These are just a small sample of what's written on the hundreds of post-it notes in here every day. It's an amazing privilege to be able to offer space for these kids to think through this stuff, in a safe place .
