School is just around the corner and things seems and feel hectic now, right? You know with sports, cheerleader, parents, siblings and family things can get kind of crazy. However, there is a remedy. But, you ask yourself "how can you have the perfect and peaceful life, a life without strife and confusion?" Let me tell you this when we get to heaven there will be no more tears, pain, heartache or worry, but for now we live in a world where at times we feel distant from God. Listen...God doesn't want you be alone as your face your busy life. He wants to know your situations. I know he is God and He already knows what you are dealing with, but He wants you to communicate with him. In 1 Peter 5:7, a piece of the Bible tells us to give our worries and cares to God, because he cares for us. This scripture shows that by me giving all the things I care and worry myself about over to God. This is Great!!! I find that usually when I try to handle things myself I sometimes messed things up. Just let it all go, no matter the situation and give it to God!!!

WHAT R U SEEING?

What is your vision? Where do you see yourself in the next five years? Proverbs 29:18 states that where there is no vision, the people perish. This scripture is pertaining to vision as revelation. Understand and realize that true revelation comes from God. So where there is no true revelation from God, people perish or spend most of their time trying to pursue the treasures and pleasures of this world. Remember the greatest commandment 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' In doing this your life will be happy because you will see the big picture....true VISION!!!!

The scriptures tell us to fear no one but God. Understand that God is with you always and know that you are his beloved. I like the scripture in Proverbs 19:23, that explains that the fear of the Lord leads to life and satisfaction. A teenagers life is full of many struggles, which can cause one to be afraid and lose their focus. Especially, towards God. Understand and know that God doesn't want you to fear, but trust in him, for he knows the plans for your life are great and without measure!!!
