The Kid: An Advent Devotional for High SchoolersSample

Christmas reminds us that Jesus can change the way we trust. Think about Mary! She faced many uncertainties and fears but still trusted God's plan. Mary believed in God's promises and found comfort. She knew God had a greater plan for her. You might feel uncertain about many things during Christmas—school, friendships, family, or the future. Like Mary, you can trust that God's promises never fail. No matter how it may seem, God is always by your side, and Jesus' birth shows us just that. It’s the ultimate reminder of God’s faithfulness.

When you face uncertainties this season, pray that, like Mary did, you’ll find trust in God’s plan. Ask God to help you remember God’s faithfulness in your life when stress or fear makes that hard to see.
