Youth Worker BOOST: The Overcomer On Your Side
ym360 knows youth workers. We know what an incredibly rewarding, yet incredibly challenging job youth ministry can be. There are days when your spirits are sky-high, and there are days when you could use a bit of a “pick me up” from God’s Word . . .
That’s why we’re happy to introduce Youth Worker Boost, the newest feature on the ym360 Blog. Boost is a short, weekly piece of encouragement designed to, well, “boost” your spirits and encourage you as you minister to students.
We consider it yet another great opportunity to serve you and your ministry.

“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
In His final message to His disciples, Jesus tells them that the time of His departure is near and that they will have to suffer for their faith. Jesus closes by reminding them that they will have many trials and sorrows in life. But He encourages them not to worry because He has overcome the world.
We’d love to have a life with no problems. And we wouldn’t mind a ministry with no problems, either.
But the words of this passage remind us that life is tough. And living the life of a disciple is even tougher. When trials and sorrows hit our lives like a freight train, we can be reminded that Jesus said we should not be caught off guard. We should not expect an easy life. But when the tough times come, we can know that Jesus understands our situation. Why? Because He not only lived in this world, He overcame this world.
Don’t let this world get you down. Remember, you have the OVERCOMER on your side.
Our prayer for you:
We pray today that you would feel the peace and power of the great Overcomer. We pray that you and your students would have the strength to overcome the trials the world throws at you through the presence of God in you.
