The Conversation...

Father in the name of Jesus I ask that you watch over the youth and children today.
Keep them on paths of righteousness for your name sake.
Thwart the enemy's schemes and plans for their lives and grant them safety under your wings.
Expose evil that is set up against them and those who mean them harm.
Send your ministering angels to whisper healing to their hearts where disappointment has found entry and warring angels to keep danger from taking them over.
Grant them understanding where they lack it and wisdom beyond their years.
​Allow them to stand firm in their identity in You and walk as the leaders You created them to be for Your Glory. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

The Affirmation...

I am never alone or misunderstood. God is there and understands me.
​
“You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭139:1-4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Turn to the One Who Understands
​

Bible Reading: Philippians 4: 10-14
I can do everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need. Philippians 4:13

WHEN HANNAH graduated into the high-school group at church, she never clicked-or rather, she never fit into the tight cliques of the group. She started going to another church with a friend, but she always felt like an outsider. Now Hannah has drifted away from church completely-and nobody from either church has even noticed.

You aren’t abnormal if you want to have friends and be liked. Like every other human being, you have a built-in need to be significant to others. And unless you are highly unusual, at times you have faced situations that are painful because you are left out. Ridiculed. Or ignored. How you handle those predicaments either makes you stronger or sets you up for further hurt.

Jesus Christ is a friend who knows what rejection feels like. Isaiah described him this way: “He was despised and rejected-a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way when he went by. He was despised, and we did not care” (53 :3). Can you feel something of what Jesus must have felt? He was hated by many. He was slandered by religious leaders-some even claimed that he was the devil! When he was nailed to the cross, he endured ridicule and mockery from heartless crowds. And even those he loved the most turned their backs on him.

So when you are rejected, ridiculed, or ignored by others, your dear friend Jesus knows better than anyone else what you are going through. He’s there with you, sharing your hurt and reaching out to comfort, encourage, and strengthen you in brutal times. Jesus not only knows about the loneliness of rejection, but he’s also the answer to it. He’s the one true friend who will never dump you. He will never reject you. By growing a friendship with him, you gain the greatest source of strength you can ever find. No matter how others trash you, you can always survive because you have a deeply trusting friendship with Jesus. Not only will you survive, but you will thrive and gain new strength through Christ.

Keep this truth in mind: “This High Priest of ours [Jesus] understands our weak­nesses, for he faced all of the same temptations we do, yet he did not sin” (Hebrews 4: 15). When you’re fighting a losing battle, ask Jesus to give you strength. And make this statement from Paul your motto: “I can do everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need” (Philippians 4:13).

REFLECT: Have you felt rejected and alone today? Are you being ignored or ridiculed by a family member or friend?
​

PRAY: Pour your feelings out to Jesus. He’s the one who understands, cares, and acts compassionately on your behalf.

Do you have feelings of being left alone? For me, talking about left alone is a feeling that we are left alone. It is only our minds that keep us feeling alone. Because if we put God the center of our lives, and we think and believe that God really exists, He will. Indeed, He is always with us. He offers an open hand for us to receive His blessings in life. I believe that God is really good. Thank you for believing as well.

He is amazing. He is always there for us and hears us when we call. We are never alone. He’s always there.

    The Daily Sign-up

Matt 16:18-20 (msg)
And now I’m going to tell you who you are, really are. You are Peter, a rock. This is the rock on which I will put together my church, a church so expansive with energy that not even the gates of hell will be able to keep it out. 19 “And that’s not all. You will have complete and free access to God’s kingdom, keys to open any and every door: no more barriers between heaven and earth, earth and heaven. A yes on earth is yes in heaven. A no on earth is no in heaven.” 20 He swore the disciples to secrecy. He made them promise they would tell no one that he was the Messiah..
