Help For Troubled Teens - How Prayer Works
Finding the right help for troubled teens in this modern age should be a relatively easy and fast process.
However, because of the increasing problems with drugs, teenage sex and pregnancies, and truancy, the system is overwhelmed and parents and educators have actually begun to give up.
Imagine being one of these struggling teens and feeling as if "the system" has given up on you -- and not only the system, but the very people who are entrusted with your care and support.
As church members who care about their church families, you are encouraged to pull together and prayer for these young kids who are falling off the radar.
Many of these children and teens belong to our own churches and desperately need someone to step up to the plate and take them under their wing.
Life them up to the Lord in prayer, and they will receive fruits of the spirit.
Building Faith - By offering prayer to these struggling teens, you are sharing your faith with them.
Faith is contagious.
If you believe with all your heart that God has plans to only prosper you and not harm you, you will pass those beliefs onto these children as you share with them your own stories of personal pain and triumph.
We have all been through rough times in our lives, and what these teens need to know is that this too shall pass.
Creating Confidence - Instilling faith and hope in someone also gives them the confidence they need to go through life and make the necessary decisions needed to succeed.
If you make each move in life knowing that the Lord is behind you and will see to it that you do not falter, it makes it that much easier to take the steps necessary to move in the right direction.
With each answered prayer, confidence builds even more.
Produce Perseverance - Though prayers will not always be answered in the affirmative, getting through trials at all is a testament to our own ability to persevere.
If you are looking for a way to give help for troubled teens, prayer is such a powerful force.
Showing them they can survive each trial makes them strong and with each mountain they overcome, they are that much stronger to overcome the next.
