Struggling Young Adults
There is a lot of pressure on young adults these days.
This blog is for young adults who are struggling in finding strength in their faith. As a new young adult, there is so much going on in this world that puts a lot of pressure on us. Struggling to be on our own, ideals society is pushing on us, school, and just figuring out what we need to do to support ourselves.
There are people who are older than us telling us what to believe and when we begin to form our own opinions, they tell us we are too young to understand. Another person who is constantly telling us we are wrong is Satan. We are at the perfect age for him to attack us and make us believe that we know nothing about our relationship with God. However, we have an awesome God who has thought of everything and has provided scripture just for this moment. In 1 Timothy 4:12, it says, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” As young Christians, it is our job to gather our peers and help guide each other through this trying time.
God has made a path for us to follow, and we will find obstacles along the way, but we can lean on God and one another as an anchor. Now, we may think we have it the worst as a young adult in this day and age, but I can think of one young adult who takes the cake. Jesus! We may not get along with our parents all the time, but at least they never made us die on a cross for a bunch of sinners. He was hung on a cross to die for us so that future young adults would have the ability to openly talk about what he has done for us. That's the beauty in all of this. The hard part is over. Now all we have to do is spread the good news of our risen King and ignore what anyone else says. Our God created us to set examples for others.
My hope for this blog is that it inspires you to go out into the world and shine your light for God. It’s what he intended you and me to do. So, even if the world says we're too young, God says we are the chosen people to help lead the world back to him.
