Hope for KidsSample

Have you ever worked really hard for something, but things didn’t work out the way you hoped? It might feel like you did all that work for nothing.

It’s normal to feel like giving up when things don’t work out. But there is more in you when you choose to follow Jesus. Your strength to keep going comes from Him. Jesus helps you learn and grow from your hard work, and He can lead you in what to do next.
