GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE The Bible shows that God enjoys the energy, creativity and potential of youth. The Apostle John celebrated the ability of youth to win battles which older people could not win. It is wonderful to be young and to know God while you have energy and vision to give to Him.
King Solomon, in all his wisdom, gave this instruction to young people. “Remember your creator while you are young.” (Ecclesiastes 12:1).
This is your day. And the future is full of God’s potential and blessing. What you need to do is to protect all that potential by committing yourself to God. It is possible to have your life mangled and messed-up so that you don’t get anywhere. There are distractions, seductions, addictions and many foolish things which are designed to steal your future from you.
I challenge you to commit yourself to your creator right now and to go God’s ways in your life. That way you will be sure to discover the blessing and meaning that has already been planned for you.
If you are ready to sort out your life and get moving into the great things God has for you, then pray with us right now. Read this prayer out loud, so you can hear yourself talking to God.
“Lord God, I choose today to give my life to You. I realise I have great potential, but I also know that many young people do not achieve their best. I ask You to protect and guide me so that I become what You want me to be. Please protect me from all the influences which will try to trip me up. Please also deliver me from the wrong choices I have made and the bad experiences I have already been through. I give myself to You, so that all the years of my life can be used for Your glory. I do this in the authority of the wonderful name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour. Amen.”
