My son, if sinful men entice you,
do not give in to them. (Prov 1:10)
Dear Father,
I pray that you give these young people eyes to see the end effect of evil and such vision gives them the wisdom not to give in to unhealthy peer pressure. Make their hearts indignant toward those who recruit to bully because they see the hurt and wounds that will be caused by that behavior. Make their minds repulsed by those who seek to get them to try drugs and alchohol because they see the lives that are destroyed by both and see how easy it is to fall into addiction. Make their souls resistant to those who would entice them to steal, shoplift or rip off music and software because they see how honest businesses and artists are harmed by the loss of revenues.
Give them an attentive ear to their parents who warn them of these things, and grow within them a desire to please you more than to please peers.
Amen
