Being the mother of two girls, I can't help but wonder what it's going to be when my girls are in middle school and high school. We know that sin will always be present in our world, but it definitely seems to be getting worse and worse. When I was in middle school, I knew some pretty fast girls, but I didn't know any who would've given oral sex in exchange for payment.
Father, I pray that you will put a claim on my girls' lives and keep them as your own. I pray that you will give me the wisdom and discipline to raise them into young women who love you and themselves. I pray that your love and our love will be enough to keep them from seeking love and acceptance in such dangerous places. And Father, I pray that when they do make monumental mistakes, that you will allow them to be caught, and teach me how to discipline through it with love and grace. And for these girls who are currently caught up in such dangerous and sinful behavior, may someone bring your Truth and Love to them. Amen.
GREAT post Lauren.
