Youth Devotional

Lydia, our Youth Director, just had a wonderful baby a few days ago. I am going to help with Youth this weekend. As long as I have taught Sunday School, you would think I would be able to pull something out of the air for devotional.

I keep pulling, but this is where I have ended up. I have a hard time praying out loud. I can't match the rambling prayers that are in my head with what I hear all over the place. [I know what you are thinking. But can't you tell me you don't feel the same way at times...] I feel tongue tied and have actually played Rock/Paper/Scissors to have someone else pray during a meeting. I wonder if I am actually listening to God or even are aware of his presence when I can't do something as simple as pray out loud.

So maybe my devotional is this: Dear Lord. Hear the words I can not say. Say the words I do not hear. Thank you for things I do not see. With your grace, one day, I will do all three.
