Cry Out For the Children

Lamentations2:19:“Arise, cry outin the night at the beginning of the watches. Pour out your heart like waterbefore the face of the Lord. Lift your hands toward him for the life of youryoung children who faint from hunger at the head of every street.”

 

Arecent analysis by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found thatsuicide rates and rates of self-harm among teenage boys and girls have risen at an alarming rate. They further found a direct connectionbetween these rates and social media.

 

Theproblem exists because young people have substituted electronics for real families—this isnot how God designed us. We need touchable, positive, approachable friendshipsin real life. As the Church of Jesus Christ, wemust reach out to the children of our time and bring them home to the house andthe family of God.

 

It'stime to pray.
