Hope in the Midst of Chaos: Devotions for Teen MothersSample

Day 4: Hope for the Future

Scripture: Romans 15:13 (NIV) - “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

As this devotional comes to an end, remember that hope is always available through Christ. Your identity is not defined by your circumstances but by who God says you are—a beloved child created for purpose.

Think about Peter; he denied Jesus three times but was restored after Christ’s resurrection (John 21). Peter went on to become one of the most influential leaders in the early church. His story illustrates how failure does not determine our destiny when we embrace God’s grace.

Reflection: Write down three hopes or dreams you have for yourself and your child(ren). Pray over these aspirations daily, trusting that God will guide you toward fulfilling them.

In conclusion, remember that being a young mom comes with its challenges but also immense potential for growth and fulfillment through faith in Christ. Each day brings new opportunities for redemption and hope.
