Meeting with a student

I'm meeting today with a young man who comes from very troubled background. I know that he really wants to serve God, but it doesn't seem like he wants to put in the effort to make that happen. He has been on my heart a lot lately, I actually had a dream that he was messing up his life and I couldn't do anything to stop it. It was very troubling. I actually woke up afraid for him. So I prayed and prayed until I could go back to sleep but that took a long time. Investing in the lives of students is very difficult emotionally. It's hard to ever leave your work at the office. You take it home with you, you think about people, you pray for them, you talk with your wife about what you're feeling and thinking, but it never goes away. I think a youth pastor who can say I'm done at 4pm and totally divorce their mind from their work, is either very gifted, or very very emotionally unattached. I'm actually a little nervous about this lunch that I'm going to have, I'm thinking a lot about what we should talk about, whether or not I can give him some spiritual nudges, or what. I guess I'll just pray my way over to his house.
