HELP, I'm Lost!

I speak to a lot of youth who just don't seem to know where they are going, am I on the right path, am I headed in the right direction, help, I'm just so lost!

DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED!!

Think about what we do when we are lost, we ask people around us, "excuse do you know where this and that is?" As we ask, people point us in a certain direction, which we have no idea where we are going, but since they know where they are going, they have been there before, we trust their guidance. Eventually, we end up at the place we were looking for, McDonalds, sike, I'm just playing, see it's not so bad.

But we find the place we were looking for, we followed blindly and went and ended up at our destination. In our spiritual walks, at times we feel lost or we feel like we don't know where to go, however, we have people to guide us, we have pastors, youth pastors, leaders, worship leaders, singers, older brothers, older sisters, people who have been there, people who live in Christ to guide us. If you feel lost, ask, just like Jesus taught in the book of Matthew, "seek and you will find." Seek that path and you will find what you are looking for, you might ask yourself, what path? The path that others will direct you to as you ask them for direction. If you are lost, you have so many people around you that can give you direction, but you must trust them. A lot of times we let what other people say go in one ear and out the other, but these people who live in Christ are there and have been through their own lost times, so pay attention to them.

As you ask, you will find direction and as you follow that direction you will find what you are looking for. You will find that relationship that you are looking for in God and as you develop your relationship with God, you will find answers to your questions, you will find everything that you are searching for! See, just as we follow the directions from those when we are lost, we follow blindly just as we should follow Him, faith is blind, as we follow blindly, He begins to open our eyes and HE will reveal Himself to us.

So, if you are lost in your walk, do not be discouraged, but be encouraged because at least you know that:
Because you are lost, you will be found!

In Christ,
