My times are in your hands… Psalm 31:15, NIV.
In life, oftentimes we are waiting for something; waiting for a dream to come to pass, waiting to meet the right person, waiting for a problem to turn around. When things aren’t happening as fast as we would like, it’s easy to get frustrated. But you have to realize that the moment you prayed, God established a set time to bring the promise to pass.
God has a set time for your opportunity. There is a set time for that problem to turn around, a set time for your healing, your promotion, your breakthrough. It may be tomorrow, or next week, or five years from now. But when you understand the time has already been set, it takes all the pressure off. You won’t live worried, wondering when this is ever going to happen. You’ll relax and enjoy your life knowing that the promise has already been scheduled and your answer is on the way!
Prayer for Today:
Father, I choose to trust in Your timing. I trust that You have my best in mind. I believe that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf. Thank You for ordering my steps and leading me in the life of blessing You have in store for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.

You know that feeling you have when you’re reading an amazing book or watching your favorite movie and you just wish it were real? And look, by wish, I don’t mean that you just want it to be real. I mean that you want it so bad, you can almost taste it. You spend actual time thinking about what…

"It’s so rare and so fantastic when someone loves you so much that they don’t need you to love them back to make it work. And this is the kind of love that God has for you - a love that lets you relax. This is also the kind of love God wants to cultivate within you for other people - one that goes beyond all need for acceptance. "

1.
One day you will begin college. You will be one step closer to your ultimate future. You will work your ass off and might be in the adolescent phase where you feel more responsible and free. You will try to wear better clothes and get more piercings and be genuinely confident in yourself. You will most likely forget about High School, just like you forgot about Primary School.
2.
Hopefully you stay in touch with old friends. Let all the troubles slide over like water. Build a bridge.
3.
One day you will begin University. It may be daunting but you will be fine. You will have a good enough job if you try. You will visit your family when you need to. Hopefully you will survive through all of the money being drained from your pockets. It will be hard. You will live.
4.
I honestly do not know if or when you will fall in love. It may feel like a million flowers flourishing in every concave of your body. It may feel like a million daggers twisting through your body. It may feel like nothing at all. Don’t feel like you are nothing. You are not an empty feild, waiting to be filled with the life of someone. You are a meadow, thriving with pulsations of love with every wave of a petal. You are ok.
5.
Just remember that people come and go. God forbid that family leave, suspect that friends may leave, however, remember this; you are not going anywhere. The biggest fights you have are with yourself. Pride is the rare feeling of internal settlement. You hold every relationship inside of you. If some are full of poison, cough them out. Like cyanide, rid of it before it rids of you. People will come and go. Don’t let them rub against you along the way and leave a scar.
6.
You will one day begin to take care of yourself. You will eat the right foods. Watch the right movies. Meet the right people. Look out at night when stars have aligned themselves. You will one day wake up and tell yourself that life is a gift with thorns that constantly prick beneath the satin cover. Don’t hate yourself. Don’t hate others. Don’t hate.
7.
You will one day understand that you cannot die imcomplete.
8.
Build yourself and let the pieces fall if they have to. Pick them up.
9.
You cannot die incomplete.

10 Great Bible Verses For Youth
Ecclesiastes 12:1 -3 “Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, ‘Life is not pleasant anymore.’ Remember him before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is dim to your old eyes, and rain clouds continually darken your sky. Remember him before your legs—the guards of your house—start to tremble; and before your shoulders—the strong men—stoop. Remember him before your teeth—your few remaining servants—stop grinding; and before your eyes—the women looking through the windows—see dimly.” (NLT)
Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” (NIV)
Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (NIV)
1 Timothy 4:12 “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.” (NIV)
Psalm 127:1 “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” (KJV)
Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” (NIV)
Romans 8:28 “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” (NIV)
Psalm 119:9 “How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.” (NIV)
Isaiah 40:29-31 “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (NIV)
2 Timothy 2:22-25 “Have no part at all in the wrong things that young men like to do. Believe. Have love. Follow what is right. Live at peace. Do these things along with others who have a clean heart and talk to God.
