Growing Up Today

I woke up this morning
You gave me one more day
To be in your service
I don’t know what to say

You give me your love
In various different ways
Sometimes I fail you
But your love always stays

Not many people in our world
Stay off drugs and alcohol
Not many can pass a drug test
That pretty much says it all

When I look at the young ones
Who are growing up this way
It scares me to think
They’re gonna be in charge someday

Your love will sustain me
No matter what takes place
So many of the young ones
Really need Your grace

So Lord I’m asking you
To help them more than me
Because I know you very well
And they really need to see

It’s not like I am perfect
Not in the very least
But I’m afraid a lot of them
Don’t know you exist

Please show them who you are Lord
So they may know your peace
And give them help God
So they can have your release

I love the prayerful poem and especially its message. We need more prayers like these for our young ones.

WE are all "children" still growing up, to Him. Whether one is 8 or 80.
I know of a man who accepted Jesus in his late seventies, the last four years of his life as a saved Christian were the best ever for him and his family.

So good to see you again. I've missed you!

Me too

I miss Ms Cleo
When she isn't here
Tho I've not met her
She has become dear!

I find myself thinking about this subject too often. This poem is very reassuring for me because I tend to feel overwhelmed and often forget what I can do to help. Pray. Thank you.
