April 12: Get a Clear Picture
Most teenagers are concerned with how they look and the way others see them. A huge part of navigating the teenage journey is becoming comfortable in one’s skin. Sometimes youth feel pressure to become someone different in pursuit of that comfort. Psalm 139 exposes us all for what we are—creations of God, “fearfully and wonderfully made.”

Don't Be Afraid
There are times when we are afraid. Sometimes bad things happen, and we are terrified. It seems like there’s a lot to be afraid of in our world: bad weather (including tornadoes!), terrorist attacks, school shootings, and even bullying. We have a lot of reasons to be afraid. But we also have someone who calms our fears.
