My youngest turned 18 back in November, and it completely slipped my mind about his need to register for Selective Service (military draft). He did it today, but I'm so worried about a penalty for not doing it with in 30 days of his 18th birthday. It was an honest mistake, just forgotten. He did it right away when I told him about it. Please pray for us.

Since there currently isn't an active draft, I think it's very unlikely that the government will take any punitive action against your son. Lord, please let the United States government show mercy upon JAM2b's son not quite meeting the filing deadline for the Selective Service.

You have noting to be concerned about, I have seen people miss that deadline by years and they didn't even as much as receive a letter.

Father, bless Jam and his son and give them favor. Father, I pray for our youth in these times. Please help and strengthen them if they are ever called to service. Thank You for those also who willingly go. In Jesus Name, Amen.
