Dealing with the Struggles of Life
Psalm 37:34
Wait passionately for GOD, don’t leave the path. He’ll give you your place in the sun while you watch the wicked lose it.
Video – “Imagine being that excited about God”
Step 1 – Let’s make this class less-boring!!!!
What are some of the things you want to talk about in future youth meetings? What are some of the things you want to know more about?
The issues and feelings you are dealing with are DEEP – and they are OK.
It’s just important to know how to control them and yourself
Let’s look at where sin starts
.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Mind (imagination)
Action (that you will regret)
All thoughts are like seeds that that get planted in your brains
The seed may lie dormant for a while, but eventually it will get watered and grow.
Actions that you will regret (sins) start well before you may think.
So what? GUARD EVERYTHING THAT GET PLANTED IN YOUR BRAIN!

Suddenly, GOD, your light floods my path, GOD drives out the darkness.
Psalm 16:11
Now you’ve got my feet on the life path, all radiant from the shining of your face. Ever since you took my hand, I’m on the right way.
Psalm 25:5
Take me by the hand; Lead me down the path of truth. You are my Savior, aren’t you?
Daniel 12:3
“Men and women who have lived wisely and well will shine brilliantly, like the cloudless, star-strewn night skies. And those who put others on the right path to life will glow like stars forever.
Ephesians 4:1
[ To Be Mature ] In light of all this, here’s what I want you to do. While I’m locked up here, a prisoner for the Master, I want you to get out there and walk–better yet, run!-on the road God called you to travel. I don’t want any of you sitting around on your hands. I don’t want anyone strolling off, down some path that goes nowhere.
