Christ the King

For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans of good and not evil, plans to prosper you and give you hope… ~ Jeremiah 29:11
 

As our youth return back to school, we send them with this prayer. It is a reminder–a living testament– that regardless of what perils or hardships our youth may encounter, God still has a plan just for them. His plan is still to prosper them and to give them hope.

In the wake of bullies, school shootings, peer pressure and the every day stress that comes with balancing school, family, and life, it’s important for our youth to know that no matter what they face, God is always present and He always has a plan and a large part of that plan is us.

For parents, nothing tugs at our hearts more than when our children are hurt or sad. We naturally want to shield them from the pangs that come with life but in many instances, we simply cannot. This is where God’s plan works at its best.

If His plan is prosper them and give them hope then our plan must be to do the same. Listen to them. Pray with them. Encourage them when they’re at their lowest and remind them that this thing they’re facing will pass. Hope lives when we give it the chance to. So, give your child the gift of hope–it just might be the right back to school item they truly need!
