peer pressures and temptations....inevitable!

I really hate this picture....but it gets your attention and the verse is right on! But the real issue isn't "if" but "when"! As our children and grandchildren start a new school year....they will face tremendous peer pressure. We face it, too! We must help them resist the enticements of this pressure. Also, we must never tire in resisting them ourselves. Set a good example for your children.... how they should act and respond. Pray for them and pray for each other.

O God, I do face temptations and enticements. Please guard my heart, my life, and my example. Help me be a person of character and integrity. In addition, please enable me to lead, protect, guard, and warn my children and grandchildren.... both those who are my related in the flesh and those in the faith. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
