Are you tired of any circumstance in your life? Do you want it to change? If yes, then you have got to confront it now. Remember you can not change what you are not tired of neither can you confront what you don’t want to change. Unless you get tired of your undesired situation, you can not confront it.
Ever since I began reading the Bible, I have never come across any personality of influence
who changed his/her undesired situation for the better without first confronting it. Do you know of any? Maybe you can show me. If Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
had not confronted the idol worship of King Nebuchadnezzar’s golden statue, they would
have remained bound to king Nebuchadnezzar’s idol worship like the rest. But they said, “Your Majesty, we will not try to defend ourselves. If the God whom we serve is able to save us from the blazing furnace and from your power, then he will. But even if he doesn’t, Your Majesty! ye be sure that we will not worship your god, and we will not bow down to the golden statue that
you have set up. ” (Daniel 3:16:18), Mind you, this was a king
they were talking to like this, he had the powers over their lives and property. But these
men could not stand this idol practice any longer, they were tired of it. So, they had to
confront and challenge the king. And at the end of it all, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were released and promoted to higher positions in the province of
Babylon (Daniel 3:30) Even king Nebuchadnezzar
praised the most high God because he saw how this God saved the three men from the blazing furnace (Daniel 3:28). Get tired of that situation, challenge it and you will see
it change. I know of a friend who had his girl friend with whom they had only sexual relationship every time they got together. It was like this for so long. Even when the boy got fade up and tired of this kind of relationship
nothing changed. He would determine not to sit next to her avoid arousing their sexual feelings but all in vain because whenever they met privately even to discuss other different issues they would end up at least romancing with each other. This was a serious problem isn’t it?

Well, it was not until he shared with me what he was passing through, that I advised him to talk to his girlfriend on how to lead their relationship or even turn it to just mutual friendship. And from this point onwards their mentality changed, they developed respect and unconditional love for each other. Why? Because both of them made it clear to each other that we are young, born again Christians who don’t deserve to live in fornication or in this kind of life. They decided to confront the situation. Now, they are even happier as friends than before because they were just living in bondage not really love as they thought was the case.
You may be going through a similar situation and you are wondering how you can come out of it. Please my brother and my sister there is a way out always as long as you are now tired of that life and you are also ready to confront your current situation. Surely, I guarantee you; you can come out of it as you live as a youth with a purpose.
GOD BLESS YOU!
