A Prayer for Help against Enemies

1I have complete confidence, O God!

I will sing and praise you!

Wake up, my soul!

2Wake up, my harp and lyre!

I will wake up the sun.

3I will thank you, O LORD, among the nations.

I will praise you among the peoples.

4Your constant love reaches above the heavens;

your faithfulness touches the skies.

Psalms 108:1-4GNBOpen in Bible reader

Obedience to the Law of the LORD

9How can young people keep their lives pure?

By obeying your commands.

10With all my heart I try to serve you;

keep me from disobeying your commandments.

11I keep your law in my heart,

so that I will not sin against you.

Psalms 119:9-11GNBOpen in Bible reader

12Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but be an example for the believers in your speech, your conduct, your love, faith, and purity.

1 Timothy 4:12GNBOpen in Bible reader

5Be wise in the way you act towards those who are not believers, making good use of every opportunity you have. 6Your speech should always be pleasant and interesting, and you should know how to give the right answer to everyone.

Colossians 4:5-6GNBOpen in Bible reader

Get your daily Word
Begin each day with the Word of God while keeping in touch with him throughout the day through prayer. This is the only way to keep your priorities in line with what you believe in.

Stand up for what you believe in
There’s a saying that goes: If you don’t like my principles, I have others! Of course the way you look at things changes over time. But there are certain beliefs that remain constant.

Let your words be your witness
When someone bashes your beliefs, don’t be afraid of taking a stand. At the same time, you need to be sensitive to people whose beliefs differ from yours.
