Habits in Middle SchoolSample

Worry seems to be a natural part of life, doesn’t it? When you feel worried about homework, or friendships, or things happening in your family, what is your first response? Do you ignore it? Talk with a friend about it? Try to stuff it down? Get angry? The Bible reminds us that the best first step for when we feel worried is prayer. When we take our worries to God and tell Him what we need, it may not make it go away, but it certainly makes the worry easier to manage.

Ask a friend or small group leader to help you notice when you’re worried this week. Have them encourage you to go to God in prayer, making it a habit for how you handle your worries.
