Prayer for teens
Anchors: Joshua 1:7
Father, Joshua 1 says to be strong and very courageous, to stick to what You command and not turn to the right or left. That 'do not turn' part is what I keep missing. I obey for a stretch, then I drift. I scroll when I should rest. I say yes when I should say no. Help me stay on the path long enough for the path to actually go somewhere. Make me boring in the good way. Steady. Hard to derail. Worthy of being followed by people younger than me. Joshua had a whole nation walking behind him. I don't lead a nation, but my little brother is watching. The kid at school who looks up to me is watching. And even more than that, my future self is watching what I build today. The kid who doesn't turn becomes the adult who doesn't turn. Train me now. Amen.
