I get a lot of questions about Bibles, devotionals, and studies for teenage girls. I truly love seeking out great ones that will impact these young girls for many years. Y’all, I love a good devotional. I mean – hello!

Being a teenager is hard, y’all.

No doubt.

They need all the help they can get especially in this social media driven world. After all, what goes in is what comes out. We need to feed them all the good, wholesome food that we can, and it starts with us. We are their first source of nutrition.

If we can teach our girls to be Kingdom-focused then we can rest assured that they are going to be just fine in anything and everything that this ol’ world throws their way.

Because if they are truly Kingdom-focused then they are God-focused, and they have a best friend that’s never going to steer them wrong. Now I’m not saying it’s gonna be easy, but I am saying that they will never be alone. I am saying that they will have true joy as they sojourn on through the path that is placed before them.

They won’t have to worry about what college or what career or what friends or what guy because they will be in constant communication with their creator – the one that planned their future in the womb. The one that loves them more than anyone else. Even more than you do – let that sink in. It’s the truth.

We have to teach them to listen. We have to show them how to obey.

God will guide them through the small steps and the big steps and all the messy mundane steps in the middle.

We just have to show them how, Mamas. We have to model this way of life, and we have to be real about it. There’s gonna have to be a lot of conversations. A lot of praying. A lot of praise and worship – and a lot of holding your own tongue when you really wanna let it rip.

So, Mamas, let’s do a self check:

▪️How are you?

▪️Are you truly trusting in God for the big and the small?

▪️Are you Kingdom-focused?

▪️Are you modeling this out loud and on purpose?

It starts with you, Mama. It starts with you.
