Last week, in Edge, we finished our night with giving students an opportunity to respond to the message by writing a prayer to God. Part of their challenge was to ask forgiveness from the brokenness in their lives, realizing that Christ took it on the cross. Here is a list of some of the brokenness in the lives of middle school students...
difficulty with school work, trouble growing up, parent's divorces, lust, pornography, masturbation, identity, people teasing them, relationship trouble, bad friendships, living in fear, gossip, lying, cheating, and hating, and not caring.
This is just a glimpse of the brokenness that exists in the lives of students in our ministry...if this is what they admitted, I can't imagine what they might still be holding onto or what hasn't surfaced yet.
This is a tough time of life, but a time where students need Jesus Christ in such a real way. Let's continue to point them to the one who took all of our sin and shame. The one who was broken for us so that we no longer have to be broken.
