How much does Hell effect our prayer lives?

I got shaken by God last night.  Our youth pastor had asked me to lead our youth prayer time that we always have on Tuesday nights and so I asked the Lord what I should share.  I got back an answer I wasn’t expecting.  He said, “Ask them how Hell affects their prayer lives.”  Ouch.  I was a mess the rest of the day.  We know about Hell.  We’ve heard about it.  Does it affect us? 

I don’t have anything else to say I just wanted to ask that question.
