Devotional Guidance
My beloved child, know this: the time of youth is a precious gift, a season meant for joy and living fully. While the world may try to define our years by fleeting moments, the Scriptures remind us to find delight in the present. Though life is brief, we are called to remember our Creator in these days, making choices that honor Him, and rejoicing in the life we have been given.
Do not let the passing years cause sorrow, but let them be a time for growth and seeking God’s favor. Though the seasons of life may bring challenges, remember that God gives strength to those who trust Him. Embrace your youth with a heart full of hope, walking in the ways that bring true peace, knowing that the purpose of your time is found in knowing and loving Him.
Ecclesiastes 11:10
10. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
Ecclesiastes 11:8-10

Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
1 Samuel 25:8-10
8. Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David. 9. And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
Ecclesiastes 12:1-4
1. Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; 2. While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: 3. In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
Isaiah 40:28-31
28. Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
