Happily Ever After: And Everything Beforeಮಾದರಿ

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT BELOW

As a middle schooler, life can be full of challenges, uncertainties, and emotional struggles. When you think of it that way, happiness feels hard to come by! Jesus’ words during His time on Earth remind us of the reality that trials and difficulties will come our way in life. Following Jesus, unfortunately, doesn’t promise us a life free of pain or hardship, but it does give us the promise of Someone in it with us. Someone whose presence and peace will help carry us through whatever we’re facing. No matter what comes our way, we can find comfort and hope in the promise that Jesus—the One who is stronger than anything we might come against in life—is with us, for us, and in it right beside us.

This week, spend time thinking about how Jesus’ promise of peace and His presence in your life could change the way see your challenges or difficult circumstances. Journal, pray about, or share with a friend what that promise and presence mean to you in whatever season you’re in right now.
