They All Desperately Need YOU!
That your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:5
ME: Jesus, my mind is like scrambled eggs right now. There are so many different thoughts flying through my thinking and feelings. I really want to just shut down and hide.
JESUS: Well, you can do that but please come hide under the shadow of My wing. I am here for you, and I know the concerns that are upsetting you.
ME: Sometimes even that is bothersome to know that You are so near as to know what I’m thinking. I guess I need to dump some stuff, don’t I? Well, school has started - only a few days in – and I am hearing stories of bullying. Anxiety levels are up. Kids are afraid to go to school because of Uvalde. Teachers are on edge. How will our kids remember that they belong to You, Jesus? I am worried for this generation…my grandchildren!
JESUS: I hear that loud and clear. Exactly what do you plan to do about all this?
ME: I don’t have a clue. I wish that I did! My heart hurts for them all.
JESUS: What are you capable of doing?
ME: Not sure, but when I was a child…
JESUS: Yes, but the world is different now and many have forgotten that I exist and tend to ignore Me as they look for their claim to fame. If they only knew what I could offer them!
ME: Jesus, they need You desperately! We all do, but those young people who are so full of hate and sadness need You the most. What could possibly have hurt them so badly to want to go out and take the lives of other children? Or attack them with painful words? They are but mere children themselves!
JESUS: My child, this is not everyone! There are millions of happy children who faithfully go to school every day with the pure joy and excitement of learning.
You must be alert and aware of what is going on around you but to worry about it will not change things. Now, praying over various schools and colleges every day is something of value. To pray for your children and tell them you are praying for them is transformational. Show them you really care.
ME: Is it like pulling up a warm blanket on a cold night?
JESUS: YES! You’ve got it! Cover them with My love.
