You Can Come Forth as Gold
Job trusted that even when he could not see what God was doing, God still knew the way he took. This devotional helps teens see how Jesus Christ can use trials to refine faith, compassion, and character.
Keep Your Eyes on Christ
Job declared, “I know that my redeemer liveth.” This teen devotional connects Job with Peter walking on the water and explores how focusing on Jesus Christ can bring peace and strength during life’s storms.
When Life Doesn’t Feel Fair
Why do faithful people still experience hard things? Job’s story helps teens understand that suffering is not always punishment and that Jesus Christ can strengthen us through trials we cannot immediately solve.
Your Worst Days Are Not Wasted
Haman’s plan against the Jews was “turned to the contrary.” Esther’s story teaches that Jesus Christ can redeem painful experiences and use them to create compassion, growth, purpose, and eventual joy.
Faith Stronger Than Fear
Esther’s danger did not disappear when she fasted, but she received strength to move forward with faith. Fasting can also help teens place faith above fear and invite God into difficult circumstances.
For Such a Time as This
Esther’s life may have seemed filled with unrelated events, but God was quietly preparing her to save her people. He may also be using your experiences to prepare you to bless someone “for such a time as this.”
God Can Work Through Anyone
God inspired a Persian king named Cyrus to help rebuild His temple. Ezra 1 reminds us that Heavenly Father can work through anyone whose heart is willing—and He may be preparing you to bless someone today.
I'm Doing a Great Work
The world constantly invites us to "come down" from our standards, our faith, and our commitment to Jesus Christ. Nehemiah's response gives us a powerful phrase to remember whenever we're tempted to compromise: "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down."
God Can Rebuild What Feels Broken
The Israelites returned to a city in ruins—but God invited them to begin rebuilding anyway. Jesus Christ extends that same invitation to us today. No matter what feels broken, He can help you begin again.
When You Don’t Know What to Do
Jehoshaphat’s prayer teaches teens that when they feel overwhelmed or uncertain, they can turn their eyes to Jesus Christ.
Stand for Truth
