YOUTH

Snippet

It takes a very long time to become young.” ― Pablo Picasso

Scripture

If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work. Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts. 2 Timothy 2:21, 22 NLT

"Disparate Youth"

Don't look ahead, there's stormy weather

Another roadblock in our way

But if we go, we go together

Our hands are tied here if we stay

Oh, we said our dreams will carry us

And if they don’t fly we will run

Now we push right past to find out

Oh, how to win what they all lost

Oh ah, oh ah

We know now we want more

Oh ah, oh ah

A life worth fighting for

Oh ah, oh ah

We know that we want more

Oh ah, oh ah

A life worth fighting for

So let them say we won't do better

Lay out the rules that we can't break

They wanna sit and watch you wither

Their legacy's too hard to take

Oh, we said our dreams will carry us

And if they don’t fly we will run

Now we push right past to find out

Oh, how to win what they all lost

Oh ah, oh ah

We know now we want more

Oh ah, oh ah

A life worth fighting for

Oh ah, oh ah

We know that we want more

Oh ah, oh ah

A life worth fighting for

In their heads, hedging their bets

In their eyes it shows

When the beacon breaks, what then?

You ask and they don't know

Oh tell me that

I turn my back well the odds all stand beneath me

And they all said I was mislead

But now the odds all stand beneath me

Oh ah, oh ah

They're frozen to the core

Oh ah, oh ah

A life worth fighting for

Oh, we said our dreams will carry us

And if they don’t fly we will run

Now we push right past to find out

Oh, how to win what they all lost

Oh ah, oh ah

We know now we want more

Oh ah, oh ah

A life worth fighting for

Oh ah, oh ah

We know that we want more

Oh ah, oh ah

A life worth fighting for

(We hear them run, but don't hear what you say

Now here we come, can't throw nothing in our way

We hear them run, but don't hear what you say

Now here we come, can't throw nothing in our way)

Sentence Prayer

I keep praying to you, LORD, hoping this time in my youth, you will show me favor. In your unfailing love, O God, answer my prayer with your sure salvation, through your son Jesus’ Death, Burial, and Resurrection.  Amen  (Based on Psalms 69:13)
