So, it’s 3am, early Friday morning. I was asleep for about 30 minutes until my 3-year old woke me up. But before falling asleep, I had a hard time falling asleep. I kept thinking about our youth group and how, and I hate to admit it, we’re struggling. Actually, I’m struggling with the youth group. We are operating without clear direction, without passion for Christ, and without inspiration to follow after Jesus. And I hate to admit it, but all of that falls on me.
Looking at this blog for past the last 12 months it’s obvious that I have been distracted by photography. I don’t want to get into it now but I do feel like my hobby has really pulled me away from my job as the youth pastor for my church. Why aren’t our youth impassioned for Christ? Why don’t we have clear direction? Why aren’t the youth inspired to follow Christ? Maybe it’s because I have not been consistently clear, inspired, impassioned, etc.
My prayer is that our youth group regain clear direction, a passion for Jesus and His Word and the inspiration to follow after Jesus.
Would you join me in praying for our youth and my heart?
Thanks for reading.
Joe
