This is a written prayer for the cry of our young

This is a written prayer for the cry of our young people that cries, “I don’t want to be defined by what hurt me.”

Dear Triune God,

I lift up this generation—our sons, our daughters, and all the young people walking through a world that feels like it’s crumbling beneath them. Because of the internet and social media and chatbots, they have more access than ever before, but less to stand on.

The foundations we once trusted—truth, community, shared meaning—are gone or questioned. And so they question everything.

They doubt what it means to love; what it means to live; what it means to be good; and if any of it is worth the effort.

Be the steady ground beneath our young people’s feet when nothing else holds. Be the voice that speaks louder than cynicism and shame. Show them that faith is not foolish, that hope is not naive, and that love—real love—is the strongest force in the universe.

Where they’ve seen hypocrisy, let them see truth.

Where they’ve been mocked for believing, give them courage to believe still.

Where they feel alone, surround them with the unshakable presence of your Spirit.

Hold them steady. And when they wonder if life is worth living, whisper into their ache: “Yes. And you are worth loving.”

Raise up our teens and young adults as part of the remnant—those quiet few who still carry the way of Jesus deep in their souls.

In a world that has traded prayer for self-affirmation and confession for curated vulnerability, let our young people hear your voice above the noise. Let them be curious—not just about healing, but about the Healer.

Let our young people speak the name of Jesus not with fear, but with quiet fire. Let their love be brave, their mercy deep, their truth clear.

May their life whisper what this world forgot: that grace is real, and Jesus still saves. Amen.

This is a written prayer for the cry of our young

This is a written prayer for the cry of our young people that cries, “I don’t want to be defined by what hurt me.”

Dear Triune God,

I know my beloved is wonderfully made with purpose, intention, and love.

May my beloved grow to see him/herself that way, too. More than a diagnosis. More than what’s been done to them. May trauma never be the full story. May it never name them.

Their personality is not a problem to fix. Their sensitivity is not weakness. Their quirks are not symptoms. They are not a list of labels.

My beloved is a soul: not a disorder, not a category, not a case to be managed.
Don’t let the hard things they’ve lived through become the loudest voice in their story. Give them resilience and grit, but also gentleness, compassion for themselves and others.

Let pain not make them harder, but more human. More loving, not more bitter. More whole, not more hidden.

May they be known by the healing; by the brave, small choices they make to keep going; to keep trusting; to keep becoming. Not just by what broke them but by what you’re restoring in them.

What a good larger story. Amen.

Have you ever caught yourself wondering if God fee

Have you ever caught yourself wondering if God feels differently about you today than he did yesterday?

I explore this idea further in The Story of Two Lost Sons:

“For so many of you, you need to wipe the face of your father from the face of God. We are all bringing our father junk with us for this conversation. So be ready for some surprises.” –The Story of Two Lost Sons, p. 44

How would your faith change if you truly believed God's love is as steady as his character?

This metaphor is adorable but also so full of truth. May we all have a room full of parents, aunts, and grandparents cheering us on in those awkward learning moments led by a conductor who believes in you.
