So about six years ago my family started going to this new church. Over the years I've been here I've gotten to know everyone in the youth group but still this youth group is lacking spiritual relationships with one another which are essential for us to have as a growing youth group. I've planned several activities for our youth group and take somewhat of a leadership role. No matter how many activities I plan or how much the youth group is together, still our spirititual relationship just aren't there. I have a vision for this group that we will be able to help one another and carry each other's burdens and just be there for one another. I just need some way to inspire this group to overcome this apathy. I want us to be comfortable expressing our feelings to one another and making comments in class or at devos. I don't want us to be in the state of spiritual apathy that we are but I just don't know what to do. I feel like a failure as leader. I mean everyone else sort of looks to me to plan things for our group and to energize us but i just feel so weak and powerless and I don't know what to do. I've gone to God in prayer about this so many times, but still I just don't know. :( Also my girlfriend is part of this youth group. She is the only one who I am able to have a spiritual relationship with and sometimes when i'm at church and am feeling unmotivated about the youth group I just give up on interacting with the other teens and spend all my time with her. I know I should foucus on the youth group but I just don't see anything I can do to help but i know i should.Any Ideas would be greatly appriciated. Thankyou
Your brother in Christ,
Heath

I think the first thing you should do is talk to your pastor and youth leader. They know more about what is going on in your group and the specific needs. Before your group can get closer spiritually, they have to be able to trust each other. They aren't going to open up about personal things if trust isn't there. Finding activites that will get them to know and understand each other better will help get things rolling.
