"A gentle hand on a teenager's shoulder every anxious morning and the steady voice whispering, 'You matter, ' every sleepless night."--Tricia Goyer, USA Today bestselling author and co-host of The Bible for Kids podcast Being a teenager is wonderful and amazing . . . but it can also be hard and confusing. Maybe you're struggling to find peace in your life. Or you feel alone, like nobody cares about you. You might wonder where you belong or why you were born. Perhaps you're hurting so much it's difficult to even make it through the day.
These things may all be true. But here's a deeper truth: God has a purpose and a plan to give you a beautiful future. You are
seen by Him. And this devotional will help you turn to the Bible, speak your truest thoughts to God, and hold on to hope.
Because He is right here with you--every hard day, every single breath--and things will only get better with God by your side.
