I'm New! What Do I Do?Sample

The Right People

Born Into a New Family

Now that you have been born again, you need to know that you’ve been born into a new family — God’s family! God is your Heavenly Father, and believers all over the world are your brothers and sisters. You are not alone!

Sometimes it can feel lonely to be a Christian. This is because when you made the decision to follow Jesus, you also made a decision to leave the past behind. Part of leaving the past behind includes leaving the wrong people.

This doesn’t mean that you are unkind to them or that you never associate with people from your past. What it does mean is that your relationship with God comes first.

At times, your family and friends may not understand your new life with God. Some might laugh at you, others may insult you, or even avoid you. It can hurt your heart.

Hopefully, they will want to know more about God and your new life. This may take time — or it may not happen at all. Either way, don’t be discouraged.

No matter what people may think or say, keep following Jesus. God loves you and is with you every step of the way. Your new family — the church — is there for you too. You’re never alone!

Prayer

“Thank You, God, for being my Heavenly Father. Thank You for my new church family. Please save my family and friends who don’t yet know You as their Lord and Savior. I ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
