Start the PartySample

Do you ever get tired of people asking you what you will do in the future? What classes are you going to take next year? What sports do you want to try out for in high school? Where do you want to go to college? What do you want to be when you grow up? The future can feel overwhelming! As a high schooler, I know that I am starting to feel the pressure of big decisions that will impact my life in the future right now.

The amazing news is that even though we may not have our plan all worked out, God has a plan and knows exactly how it will all work out. It can feel super stressful, but sometimes, we just have to take a step back and trust that God knows what’s best for us, even if we can’t see it yet. Then, we can focus on what’s happening right now instead of spending our energy worrying about what’s coming next.

So today, go for a walk. As you walk, tell God about one thing in the future you’re worried about and ask for help in trusting God with it.
