Scripture Ecclesiastes 12:1

If there was ever a people that needed our prayers, it is the youth of today. A lot of them seem to be slipping away from the things of God and are totally caught up in the things of the world. If only all of our youth would do as verse 1 says. If only they would remember their creator when they are young. If they would only turn to God in their youth, they would escape so much heartache and sin.

A lot of people see the youth of our day as a lost cause. I disagree. They are no lost causes with God. God can reach anyone, no matter how far in sin they may have fallen. All they have to do is be willing to allow Him to do a work in their lives.

Do you have a young person or persons that you have been praying for? Don't give up praying. They may not be as far away from God as you think they are. There is so much peer pressure today that our young people need to know that there is someone who loves them, and at the best , at least tries to understand them. We need to let them know that there is a better way and that God loves them and that he loves them unconditionally.

Maybe you are a young person today who is reading this. If you don't know Jesus, turn your life over to Him today. He loves you so much that He died for you. You will find a friend in Jesus like you have never had before. He will never leave you. Maybe you are someone who has grown a bit cold in your experience with the Lord. If that is how you are, get before Him today and renew that relationship with Him. He is standing by. He never left you.




God cares for old and young
To us He does stay true
He died to set is free
He loves and cares for you
