Holy Spirit, Savior, Healer

I can't think straight today. For the past couple Wednesday nights, I leave our youth group feeling uneasy. Sometimes I wish I could just stay oblivious to the evils in this world. I am outraged and devastated at the situations the majority of our young girls have had to deal with in their short lifetimes. I now understand how confused they are about their value, their worth and their stand on purity.

I want to take them all away for a while, starting from the basics - salvation, and gradually lead them to a place where they can understand the importance of God and his commands, and also just know the kind of God that He really is. These girls need more than just a Wednesday night meeting of 1.5 hours of church.

I wish I was qualified to counsel these girls, but I'm not. I wish I knew what to do, but I don't.

For now I will just pray for these girls. Since God can do anything... I know He can speak to, minister to and heal these girls hearts and minds. I just hope these girls will open their hearts and ears to listen. And, I need God to give me wisdom.

I'm not sure how acurate this is, but I've heard that 1 out of 4 girls have been secually and physically abused. I believe it. This world is evil, and I can't wait until Jesus comes back.
