Cry Out! That is Your Weapon
Young man, I want to remind you of something crucial as you continue your journey. You must realize that, on your own, you are weak and incapable of achieving anything without God. One of the greatest weapons God has given you to defend yourself and to fight the enemy is the ability to cry out to Him for help. You cannot navigate this world alone, and you cannot win the battles you face by your own strength. Many young men have tried to fight life's battles on their own, only to be destroyed by them. Though they remain alive, they are spiritually defeated. You must learn to call out to God for help, loudly and constantly. You do not have everything figured out. God has said that He sends you out like a lamb among wolves, a powerful image that reveals your deep need for Him. He is not even sending you out as a grown sheep, but as a lamb, young and vulnerable. This signifies your utter dependence on His strength and power to survive the hostile environment around you.
