Decide to Thrive: Youth EditionSample

Can I Really Thrive?

What does it mean to thrive, and how do we get there? Maybe you’re wondering who God is or if He cares about you. Or maybe you feel stuck—like something’s missing. Here’s the truth—God made you for more.

In Genesis 1:26–28, we learn God created us in His image. He gave us the power to make choices that shape our lives. No matter where you come from or what you’ve been through, you can decide how to move forward. Thriving starts when we align our choices with God’s Word and His plan for us. When we trust Him, we find peace, purpose, and strength—even when life gets tough. Every day is a chance to make decisions that move you closer to the life God designed for you. So, choose to thrive!

Reflection: Reflect on the decisions that brought you where you are today. What’s one decision or habit you can change today to move closer to the life God designed for you? What do you feel led to do? Spend some time in prayer, reflecting on these questions.
