We need to pray!

[~Natsumi Lam~]

I read Bob Larsons book called "Extreme Evil :Kids Killing Kids"

It is about kids of today : pre-teen to adult. Who just need God and how Christianity is so important. I challange you!


Me: I need to tell you about me first. When i was a little kid, i was a happy kid. I went to church, i lead a bible study in four grade, i loved Jesus, i loved mommy daddy and my brother. Then i hit 11: i became antisocial, unemotional, distant, lacked care, hated physcial contact, hated me, wanted to die, believe "It is better not to love at all than to love", depressed, suisidal thoughts, murderous thoughts, hate, distain. That intensity lasted till about 17 years old. I admitt i still have some of that but i am slowly being purged of all that by Gods grace and love. The reason i say this as follows.

Pre-teens and Teens: if you have a parent or adult who you know cares for you. Tell them your concerns, fears, joys, suicidal thoughts, depression, thoughts of killing... just tell them. Parents are so in the dark, most of the time, with you because you close your emotional and physical doors to them. I am not a parent but i pray for my nefew constantly, and i dont even know what it going on. Even if your parents arent christian, they need to know you and who you are. I remember, and i hold back tears now... when i was 11 i totally shut my parents out. I believed physical contact like hugs were pointless and all i wanted to do was sit and read [internet wasnt accessable to me]. I closed them out totally. I wouldnt hug them for year. I just wanted to die. And my parents didnt even know... i didnt tell them and i hid it well! They cant read your minds and when i was 11-17 years old i lead a double emotional life. I was happy on the outside, but dieing emotionally on the inside. Parents and adults need to know. They need you as much as you need them. Dont make the computer your parent. It will hurt you in the end. And if you have friends that you know are killing you spiritually, and/or emotionally. You need to break away. I had to make the choice. And dont tell them what they want to hear, tell them how you feel. Whether it be to a parent or a trusting adult just tell them.

Adults and Parents: Pray, pray, pray. I remember when i was getting older, my dad somehow knew all i was doing without being told [God told him]. I can remember one night my dad saying "You have a boyfriend hu?". No one could have told my dad because all but one person i knew, knew my parents. Pray for your children, watch over them, pry into their personal life! Children and teens claim they require privacy... but in reality they need intervention. They need you there to rescue them from themselves... i am a personal testiment to that. And they need genuine love, concern for their emotional health , spiritual health, mental health, and wellbeing. They need your prayers even more. And, also very important.. they need you to understand them emotionally and not just their symptoms. If your child is withdrawn, teary, computer dependent rather than human or family dependent. Intervine before they have such emotional wounds that only sever intervention is required. Pay attention to speech patterns, whats in their room, who their friends are. Basically be an intracet part of their whole life. In the end my parents prayers and continual concern for me kept me in the right mind. I am hear today because of God keeping my parents praying... even when i hurt them so bad... i remember my dad weeping at my feet about he really wanted to know about me, and wished i didnt shut him out all theses years [i would always tell him what they wanted to hear... not what i felt]. Please Pray even if they arent your kids!

From now on... each day.. i am going to take one persons name from this forum and pray for them. If you want me to pray for something specific.. please pm me. And i will be checkign in on the prayer forum too. But anything you want me to specifically pray for when i pray for you... let me know. "For we battle not against flesh and blood... but those evils in high places!!!"

That's a very very very good idea Natty matie! It's very important to pray for the children/youth; they, afterall, will be running the world soon We need to pray for them that they will walk in the true path and not be misled into a counterfeit. Thanks for posting this

Yes, thanks for posting this, Natsumi. Excellent advice. Open communication on both ends is *so* important. And it doesn't *have* to be parents, it can be another adult who is close and trusted, as you mentioned. But if at all possible that communication and trust between parents and kids is so very important. I will pray that God touches many hearts out there in relation to this thread, His will is done, His plan furthered, and He is glorified.
