To A Special Teenager

God sees how you suffer so much criticism from your parents. It seems that in their eyes you can doing nothing to please them. The Lord wants you to know that He does not see you that way. He created you and loves you just the way you are. He wants you to be strong and courageous. He will use these trying times to strengthen you. God says, "Have respect and honor toward your parents because I used them to bring you into this world for My purpose. But do not believe the negative criticism and hurtful things they say. I will lead you into what is right. I am with you and helping you even though, at times, it doesn't look like it. Be strong and courageous and know that I have a wonderful plan and purpose for your life. I created you specifically for that purpose and no one else can fill the purpose I have for you." Heavenly Father, on behalf of this one, I ask for your great comfort to touch them. Give this one new insight and clarity of who you are and how you see them. Let them experience your life changing presence. Lord, help them to overcome any lies they are tempted to believe about themselves and to only believe what you and your Word says about them. Lord, the Bible says that when you created everything you said it was GOOD and VERY GOOD. Heavenly Father, that means this sepcial teenager that you created is VERY GOOD and is BLESSED by you. I ask, Father, that you would encourage them daily with your love and presence. Strengthen their heart and help them to look to you and talk to you about everything that goes on in their life. Know for sure, dear one, God loves you with a love that lasts forever!
