Katie's prayer: Relient K's "Breakdown"

I guess he can destroy everything that I enjoy.
But, I won't be the one he takes down.
No, I won't breakdown.

Tonight I had a teen confide some pretty serious stuff to me. It made me realize that you just never know what demons people are fighting. Sometimes, the news can be shocking. I think the most shocking part of tonight was realizing that a lot of the things this teen is struggling with are similar to things I struggled with in the past. It’s hurtful to know that I’m not the only one. I know what she’s feeling, and yet I don’t know what to tell her to help her. Because, really I don’t know how I helped myself get beyond it.

Tonight my prayer is donated to this teen... you know who you are. I pray that you are able to find relief from your struggles and temptations. I pray that you are able to find answers to all your “Why”s. I pray that you realize you are not a loser - even if it is God telling you that you are. Cause while God might not be wrong, sometimes our understanding of God’s voice is wrong.
