Prov. 4:23 Keep your heart with all vigilance,
for from it flow the springs of life.
24 Put away from you crooked speech,
and put devious talk far from you.
I was saddened tonight when we returned home from church. Teresa was reading some of the student's conversations on some web site and found that some of them are using fowl language as they write each other. I guess I was hoping that if they were going to use filthy language they would at least try to keep it out of print, but this truly reveals their hearts.
Pray for our students that they would not be lured away by the world and their friends, who apparently don't care about purity or decency. "Out of the heart the mouth speaks" and this is certainly true of our youth. Pray that God would crush their cold, stone, hearts and give them a heart of flesh.
We are in a battle for the souls of our students and we need to be in prayer for them, as sin doesn't wake up tired and the evil one would love to capture them for himself early on.

Thank you for posting this! We just put our daughter who is 12 back in public school after being home schooled for 3 1/2 years. We are confident this is the best for her right now, but still, I feel a stronger urge to be praying as she goes about her day. So far, I have been able to have some time to pray and read the Word with her before she catches the bus. That has been a huge blessing. I really needed to hear what you said about sin not waking up tired. I will share that with her. Thank you.
