"The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing."

He's experiencing normal life transitions from high school intensity to adult responsibility, but interpreting it through the lens of online hormone panic. Every supplement ad tells him he's deficient.
Samson had his eyes gouged out, was imprisoned, and his hair cut—every source of his strength seemingly gone. Yet in his final moment, God restored his strength INSTANTLY and he killed more enemies in his death than in his entire life. Supernatural strength defies natural decline.
I REFUSE the lie that my masculinity or strength must decline. IT IS WRITTEN that the righteous shall FLOURISH and be FRESH even in old age. My strength comes from the Lord, not from hormone levels. I am blessed with the BARAK—the Lord commands blessing on my body, my strength, my vitality. IT IS WRITTEN: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I receive supernatural testosterone, energy, drive, and masculine strength. My body operates under Heaven's system, producing exactly what I need.
The Father isn't measuring your hormone panels or comparing you to some performance metric—He's looking at you as His beloved son, stamped with His image, carrying His strength. He's running toward you with the same delight He had when you were 8, ready to pour His power into you RIGHT NOW.
