Sandy

Great advice! I can think of a lot of times I should have tried this, but didn’t. I think I’ll try it first….then cut back on regret!

1. HELPING ANIMALS.

Emily

1. I think taking small steps helps you get to your goals and dreams then taking one big step.
2. I want to learn how to play the guitar but i have to get a guitar before I can learn how to play the guitar
3. i liked how you said that brad pit had to dress up like a chicken before he became big

Janice

Great checklist for any age!

Janice

It takes 21 days to develop a new habit. Expect it to take time to develop God hunger and also the habit of listening to His presence

MIckayla

I learned that it’s ok to fail, as long as you pick yourself back up and try again.
I’ve learned that it takes more than just talent to get anywhere, you have to put in the effort and you will eventually get what you want.
A positive way to look at a failure would be to look at it as a learning experience.

Emily

1. That there is no such thing as failure.
2. That you have to keep trying to get things right.
3. I can do things again.

Amber

That’s a great point! Habits do take time to develop so don’t get discouraged if it takes time for them to grow in your life.

Emily

1. Habbits can be a big deal.
2. Where you were talking about getting up in front of the class and getting nervous.
3. Doing the little thing to help my dream to become a teacher.

Emily

1. I wirte them on my mirror or and a peace of notebook paper.
2. Pray to God that he will help you more and more everyday.
3. Pray to God about what you want to do.

Carol

This is a “super” message. I like it!

Kinsey

Every time I tell one of my friends about trusting and believing in The Lord they stop talking to me and then they won’t hang out with me. What should I do?

Kinsey

thanks amber and sandy for those tips. I have some friends that are Mormon and every time I say something about the lord they say it is not true. I have thought to be friends and class mates that have kissed, dated, and they swear all the time. I don’t do that so then they forget about me. Through these struggles of mine it doesn’t seem like something in the end is going to be good

JW

Good stuff even for an old duff!

Katie

I just need something that includes god into my life.

Katherine

Why are the growth questions unavailable?

MYSTERY

Superman is SWEET….

BUTT,

God did create the world and everything in it and he is ruler of everything when superman is a fictional character who “saves” people.
the real way to save someone is through God’s love.

SUPERMAN-0
GOD- 1

Randall

I can’t download the growth questions. It says the page doesn’t exist. I am a youth pastor and like this study for my group. We started with lesson 1 last night and it went really well but the questions were very helpful. Is there another way I can get them for next week? Thanks

TEM

Hi! I suggest you buy a devotional book that will help you in studying the best love letter ever written, the Bible. 🙂
I bought one and enjoys reading the Bible with it 🙂

Heather A

I work with middle school aged kids and I was browsing through some things on the internet about faith devotions. I came across this site and I couldn’t be happier with what I have found. I wrote down the idea on how duct tape and faith are similar. Used the examples from here and am very impressed. Thank you so much for these great ideas! Super awesome!

Banana

Guilt has been something I’ve been struggling with recently very much. This was a very uplifting devotion and hopefully it will help improve my mindset on things. After praying about my guilt a lot, I stumbled across this website. I feel it is no coincidence and Gods way of saying that he is much more easy going than I probably think. Thank you for posting this 🙂

Eno

Great Words!! His word is spirit and life. Please when are you creating a blackberry, andriod or iphone app?

Marjorie

Lately its like nobody cares for me. My boyfriend just broke up with me and I want more friends and I want your help. Mrs. Sharar told me about this site she’s my art teacher.

Thank you for sharing your story Amber. I pray that you continue your recovery and time will heal the friendship you had.

callie

I think this is wonderful, never feel that you have to change yourself to be attractive to the other person.. God made you wonderfully, and the way he wanted you, your fearfully and wonderfully made. God will send you a spouse that fits you, give it time, and have faith.

Just Some Dude

That was only 5, but it was still good

Grace

i’ve been having some tough issues with starting high school this year failing algebra so many times and scared i won’t get into to college and lost a boyfriend who cared so much about.And recently lost a really good friend,who then found out talked behind my back I’ve always been a christian i pray every night i go to church every sunday and wednesday and some how I’m giving up i seek out to god but i don’t know what to do anymore.

Adina G

Nadia

James

I sometimes think people don’t get me. This is encouraging thanks!

kateenaboy2112

very helpful

Zoe

Hey

Kellie

This is an awesome lesson!

Nariah

I agree with Jesusloverforever ! 1 John 4:20 is a great verse to get you thinking about your relationship with not only your brother but with God too.

Joe B

“We all face situations in life when we feel scared and alone.”
Kind of like the way the inhabitants of Jericho must have felt while Joshua and his army were circling the city waiting to go in and massacre every man, woman, child and living thing.
Joshua was pretty much a mass murderer and ethnic cleanser. Was God there for the women and children of Jericho when Joshua’s army tortured and sliced them to pieces or was God with Joshua? Was God with the parents and little children that Joshua threw in a pit and had burned alive or was God with Joshua? If the later then God has a great deal of blood on his hands. ~ one teen’s rant.

Haylie

getting involved in an organization is a great way to meet godly friends! I’m involved with Younglife and I’ve met some of my best friends there. It’s people who will point you back to Jesus and I do the same. It’s incredible to see the doors God has opened up for me at college, I’ve never felt closer to Him!

Simone B

Wow, I felt like God was speaking through the author of this devotional. I stumbled upon this at 11:30 pm, and this was so helpful. I am a sophomore in college studying music education who has doubts about whether this is where I am most helpful, where I am best using my gifts. I need to pray about this more.
Regardless of whether I stay on this path or not, I know that I am not a person who gives up easily. I learned from this past year that failure does not make me this in the towel- it pushes me to try harder. I want to be a blessing, I want to be needed. I am reminded that Christ doesn’t need us, but he desires us to the point of death. His choice made my choice to choose life forever possible. Thanks you Jesus!

Meenu

Thanku very much..it seems correct ..ill try this..n when the result comes ill.post it….praise the lord…

Bayleigh

What is the Bible verse that got you through those tough times, the one you showed to your mom and other loved ones?

Abigail

Thank you I was wondering if I could use your devos for a class devos and if you can make questions for this devos please? I really need questions.

no name

keep it casual? what then why havea relation like this instead of be friends. if its only gonna be casual..

Alfred

This is so much in good timing. Thanks for this. 🙂

Alfred

this inspired me to start my day right.

Diane

Thank you, I needed to hear this today!

Eloisa A

To be honest, I was covered with fear and worries before reading this. Being a student and knowing your parents are hoping to give your best is difficult. I was pressured because of the society and what it dictates me to do. This devotion serves as an eye opener to me. Refreshing my heart and my mind that God would never leave me, and of course to be thankful. Thank you God for reminding me that you will do anything for me, and all I need is just to focus to you and to the positive things in my life. God bless to the writer of this devotion.

Uzendu E

Thank you so much. This actually came at the right time because i was really depressed but right now, I cant help but smile because I have realized what God has Done for me and how much he loves me.

Kaila

I read this at the perfect time, thank you <3 <3

Aalfin E

Daily Bible Verse and Devotion makes me to see GOD in totally different way.
Getting boosted everyday.

Thank you for this wonderful little retreat..

Holly

I’m a really negative person, I have really negative thoughts and always say negative things about myself that aren’t true. Now that I’ve read this I think that this might be the reason why I fall down so often in my spiritual life. I love these devos so much, because they seem to always speak to whatever I’m going through. I used to think I was the only person that went through these type of things and devotions never really spoke to me. But, now after waiting a while the devotions have started to really speak to me and they help me get through struggles in my life. People always said you have to be patient and I thought that maybe no matter how patient I was nothing would ever come through to me, but now they do.

Lori R

You are making up the words of God! Starting with leaving out a VERY BIG word in John 3:16 “SO”

You really need to STOP this NOW. You are CHOPPING UP JESUS The WORD that became flesh and dwelt among us

Anonymous love

This devotional reminds me of the lesson that is all to often forgotten, that we are not able to break habits on our own. We tell ourselves that we will keep away from whatever it is we need to stop doing, but to no avail. Once we realize and understand that we alone can not break our strong habits, we can hand them over to God. With God in our corner we can accomplish anything, and suddenly the task of breaking those habits will diminish to nothing at all. No matter how bad the situation may be, God almighty can always lift you up out of it, you just need to trust that he will.

Anonymous love

This devotion is true in many ways. Although you may have a rough outline of who the person you are dating might be like, you never know for sure what they’re true personality is. If you want to start a good, healthy relationship, you need to start with god. If you feel guilty when you are around your crush or significant other, and feel ashamed to let people see that you are together, it’s probably not a very good relationship (this is not true of all cases, of course, you may just need to talk with them). If you feel good about out who you are with, understand each others boundaries, and are willing to let the world know that you are a couple, congratulations, you have probably found someone good for you. God will give you signs if your relationship is going down the wrong path, it’s our decision wether or not to acknowledge them. If your relationship is good, clean, and healthy, you will feel right with God when you are with them. God does not shame being in a relationship, he wants you to find love, and when you do, it will feel right.

Kevan G

I shared this devo with my teen group it went well and they responded well with it. Thanks for the good content.

Awesome website!!, ❤️❤️

GG Small

Proverbs 3:5,6 My fav trust verses – my life verse !

Jim C

Sounds soooo simple. Oh, and all the emphasis on self discipline for the Christian. But….. it takes time and expiriences with God, so that my self must diminish and His life becomes who I am. His Spirit must grow and become my life. We must be careful not to encourage the young in that self discipline is the equal of Spirit led.

Onome

Thank you for this daily devotions, God bless you
Amen

Rod L

Interesting that you had the reference error in 2015 based on your comments and have it again in 2018. You might consider updating the reference.

Brooklynne

What is todays

Victoria P

It is hard for me to believe that just giving something simple as a piece of candy to a neighbor or child is considered a act of kindness, but I believe.

Simon R

Thank you for helping us this year by giving us daily readings, we read them together as a family and they really help us. Merry Christmas to you and a happy New Year

Gladys

I’ve always respect my parents, I might not have agreed on everything that they said, But I did hear ever word they told me, sad to say there gone now, I sure do miss hearing Them tell how to do this and that. Please Honer your mother And your father.

Syd

This low key accurate ‍♀️But it’s true too because people get on MY LAST NERVE but you gotta love em cause ‘ god loves everyone ❤️

Hector H

This has been a great resource for me as a parent. I used this devotionals to spend time with my kids, I have 3 and they are all teens. It is a true blessing a great guide to start conversations and to make the word of God relevant to our lives. Thanks so much!

Travis

I want to be a navy seal when I get older this one tells us dont fear anyone

Nicole

I have a teenager who wants to know what is the point if God knows what we do before we do it , then what’s the point. Why pray for our dad to get saved when god knows that regardless of our prayer he won’t till he’s 70 or neverbatvall. Why pray for things when God knows the future that it may not happens already

Luke

I think that God has a plan for us, but God does not see the future. It may simply be that God wants the best for us. Our lives are still our own and our decisions today will still effect us. What God see’s is our potential to live the best we can and be as blessed as we can be. Your dad may only live until 70 but what is important is how good of a life he had up until then. Our job is to love God and try to follow his path. Jesus knew that the religious leaders were angry at him and he knew that one day they would capture him. But it never stopped him from telling the Good News, it never defeated him.

MarthaAnn

I have a hard time taking home the devotions i learn at my youth bible study, so i began looking for devotions i can read and study myself along with the youth studys. it didnt take me long to find this website. it is exactly what i was looking for. something quick but so very important. i especially loved todays devotion! whoever is writing these, thank you. i need this. thank you so much!! and keep going. 🙂

Johnlyn

So you believe that if I say that prayer I will be saved from hell and I don’t have to do nothing else but follow Jesus?

Jewel

I prayed last night that God would provide me with assurance that the career I am pursuing was in his plan. I start college this coming fall, and a lot of thought has gone into my major. I’m glad I read this devotion today!

Cammie

Let’s all use our gifts for good today☺

Reyna And Jenna G

Wow these devotions are so amazing. They are such great reminders and are so encouraging. We read them all the time!

Laurie Minor

We stopped receiving them.

Jude

kinda cool

Nellieken O

Sometimes I feel like I have to be perfect in my faith and actions for God to love me. I struggled and still struggle with being a perfect Christian and it just feels really hard to believe that God would love me despite these iniquities.

Jhaeza

I’ve been ignoring your emails to me for weeks, but by God’s grace, I accidentally opened this one. And it was a right choice for me. Maybe because I got so overwhelmed about my upcoming exam next month. One thing is for sure, God will always find ways, make ways, in order for us to remain in His arms, no matter what happens.

Katelyn

Love it!

Sarah

I believe today’s scripture references is wrong. It should be Psalm 107:1 or Psalm 136:1
