2 KORINHTU 12:6-7

This is part 4 of 4 in the Feed Middle School series Unboxed: Created in God's Image. This plan unpacks Lesson 4: God's Masterpiece. God identifies us as his children. He designed us as his “masterpiece,” and through Christ, we are set free to do the good things he planned for us long before sin entered the world. We don’t need to cling to our own ideas of who we should be or what we must do. Being in Christ is enough.

Fear has a voice—but it doesn’t get the final say. When anxiety rises, circumstances don’t shift, and you’re stuck in the waiting, it’s easy to believe what fear is saying. This 3-day devotional walks through the lives of Paul, David, and Habakkuk to help you fight fear, steady your thoughts, and hold onto faith when nothing around you changes. It’s time to take the mic back—and let God’s truth be the loudest voice again.
