Worry Less, Pray More (Teen Girls)Sample

Why Do We Worry?

Do you ever wonder why worry is even a thing? We’d have nothing to worry about if sin didn’t affect every part of life. When the first two people God created, Adam and Eve, chose to sin, it spread to all people after them—and sin brought hardship and worry and death to the world. But God made a way to overcome sin and experience life that lasts forever through a relationship with Him. He showed what incredible love He has for people by sending His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to die to pay the price of sin for every single person. And then Jesus rose back to life, proving God’s power over death—power that He gives to us when we accept Jesus as the Savior from our sin.

The very best prayer anyone can ever pray is a prayer of salvation, like this: Dear God, I know that I make bad choices sometimes. Those things are sin, and I am a sinner. Please forgive me. I trust that You sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, as the only Savior from sin. I believe Jesus died on the cross to pay for my sin and rose again and gives me life that lasts forever. I want to give my life to You, God, and want to do my best to live like Jesus. I love You, and I need Your help in all things. Amen.
