As the disappearance of Hailey Dunn reaches the two-week point, prayer is more important than ever, said Bobby Matlock, pastor of Christian Temple, the church Hailey attended.

"The only thing that's going to bring strength is prayer," Matlock said.

Hailey was last seen on Dec. 27 at her home in Colorado City, and with each passing day risk losing hope.

"This whole community needs to rely on God to bring a closure to this deal."

As Hailey's Wednesday night youth group continued without her for a second week, her youth leader encouraged the kids to make cards for Hailey's parents.

"I said, whatever comes to their mind, speak out of their heart," Scott Free said.

People are turning to Facebook to make their prayers for Hailey public.

"I pray for those searching to bring you home Hailey," one woman wrote on the Find Hailey Dunn Facebook page.  "I pray that they stay warm and out of harms way."

Others are leaving scripture passages, such as "The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed a stronghold in times of trouble."
