30 Days of Prayer - Day 19 Today, pray for the social world of our teenagers. Pray for the relationships that they have with friends, teammates, classmates, and others. The social world of our teenagers is a difficult world to navigate. The pressure to fit in to groups and to divide into cliques, that has always existed, is only intensified by social media and technology. Bullying and other harmful behaviors now easily extend beyond the school building, the school bus, and the neighborhood. Pray that our teenagers will find the resources they need to deal with these harmful forces. Pray that our teenagers will find places within this social world where they feel comfortable, loved, and accepted. Pray that they may also find ways to bridge the boundaries and push back against the pressures of this social world, so that others might see Gods light through them. Pray that our teenagers might experience Gods deep love for and acceptance of them, and through that experience discover ways to grow into the people God has created them to be. Thanks for joining me in this time of prayer and commitment for our youth ministries! Peace, David
