Lord, Please Help Us!!!!

Matthew 5:11 (NLT)
"God blesses you when you are mocked and persecuted and lied about because you are my followers. Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted, too."

As I was just doing my devotion I came across Matthew 5:11. And as I sit here this morning about to go to school I cant help but think about the need of God in our school system. Yes, we all need God but the school system is "wicked" these days. Over the past few months I have been made fun of and been called many different names because I preach the Word of our God. Most of us know that the devil will try to throw some "curve balls" at us. Some of what I thought were my best friends are not realizing the seriousness of having God in their life. But I am not discouraged, I have seen with my own two eyes the miracles that the Lord Jesus Christ has done. I ask every reader of this blog to please, please, please be in prayer for us teenagers that has to face the "mockers" at our schools. Don't get me wrong, our school is not terrible but there is that need of the awesome hand of God to intervene in lives. I still struggle with this, but the schools can be a ministry for us teenagers to spread the Word of God. I definitely cant judge people, and what people do is between them and God, but I was sitting in the lunchroom the other day and the sounds of the Lords name being used in vain rang out repeatedly. And when that happens my heart breaks, I hope that those people repent. I'm not trying to sound like a baby about all of this but there are so many souls that are lost. I hope that I have influenced young people to fulfill their calling in life. I believe there are many that are running from the call of God because they are scared. The Lord is not going to send you some place without the right "equipment". What this nation needs to do is stop worrying about what the nonbeliever will think, this nation needs to stop worrying if the devil worshipper will get mad, this nation NEEDS to focus on God. I believe that with our Youth Group expanding the way it is, souls are going to be touched outside of church. Im going to stop with this thought, the schools can be our place to minister to lost souls...
