2. God is by your side
Matthew 15: 4 “Because God commanded saying: Honor your father and your mother; and: Whoever curses the father or mother, die irretrievably ”.
This is known as the first commandment that carries a promise and it is interesting that it is made not only to young people but to everyone in general.

3. Trust in the powers of God
Lamentations 3:27 "It is good for man to wear the yoke from his youth."
Youth in God or it can be burdensome but it is a delight to serve you in the days where our strength and courage seems to be one hundred percent. Youth is good and if we give ourselves to live it under the precepts of God and the ordinances of our faith then we will have a blessed youth at all times.

1 Timoteo 4: 12 "Let none be small in your youth, but be an example of believers in word, conduct, love, spirit, faith and purity."
Many times for being young and saying that we want to serve in the church or give our hearts to the Lord, we are not taken seriously and, on the contrary, we are mocking, but here the Lord gives us advice and encourages us to take our decision to follow him even when we are young.

Jeremiah 1: 7-8 “And Jehovah said to me: Do not say: I am a child; because you will go to everything I send you, and you will say everything I send you. Do not fear before them, for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.

7. God is by our side
1 Corintios 10: 23 “Everything is legal for me, but not everything is convenient; everything is lawful for me, but not everything edifies ”.

2 Timoteo 2: 22 "Flee also from youthful passions, and follow justice, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord with a clean heart."
