So you think 15 is to young?

* I went on a missions trip to New Orleans to help those who lost their homes and what not.....There was a specific day that I got picked to pray over 200 cars and I feel God has surely gave me the gift to pray*

Sometimes I get so sick of hearing
All the adults who bring the youth down
Complaining that every child is spoiled and evil spirited
Whining that there is no caring student around

You say well “fifteen year olds are wild
They’re out drinking and smoking with friends”
Let me tell you what I did Friday night
And see if you’ll still try to defend

Cars lined up as early as 2 in the morning
And the actual distribution started at nine
They were ready to get free food and clothes
The cars came by dozens. I lost count down the line

My pastor approached me and looked me in the eyes
Said, “I need someone to pray for every car”
He told me he’d like to start with me
That my smile would shine like a star

So I said a simple “Good morning maim,
Would you mind if I said a simple prayer for you”
She said, “Baby I need all the prayer I can get
And to be honest I’ve only received a few”

I grabbed her hand and fought back the tears
“Dear God we come here and pray
You said when two or three are gathered you’re in the midst
So please answer everything I say”

“I pray Lord God that you return her things
Please help my friend to realize
You said you’d never give us anything we couldn’t handle
Remind her of your love when she starts to cry”

The people that cried would pat my hand
“Thank you baby I’m surely touched
I found my nine-year-old Grandson dead behind a shed
And your prayer has really helped me so much”

So many people told me “great job”
So many people said “what a beautiful prayer”
I looked at them and told them
“Don’t ever doubt that teenagers don’t care”

I had to of prayed for over a hundred cars
1-4 people were in the seats
Some just looking for a bite of food
Or something simple like a twin bed sheet

Later that night we did it again
And about 100 cars had past by
Again I left so many smiling
I made about a dozen families cry

So you think fifteen years old is a bit to young
You think that I have no clue what to say
Well please give me a chance to prove you wrong
Lend me your hand and I will start to pray
