Exhausting

I don't know how people can live. Our world is so broken there doesn't seem to be any chance for anything good. seeing the pain the lives of teenagers makes me realize that everything good must come from God because it sure doesn't come from other people. The pain seems to be overwhelming:
the teenage girl who has lost her mom and dad before graduation
the girl who is abused and can't get out
the boy who doesn't see any future other than the streets
the high school students who can't read
the kid who is raised by a grandma because mom does more harm than good
girls who see their only value as a sex object to boys
boys who seek value in treating girls like property to be used
kids who don't have a warm place to sleep
kids who don't have enough to eat


it goes on and on and on and on...
God, please work through me to show you to these people. Please be my desire and fire as I serve you in their lives.
