This book of devotions is written especially for girls like you. It will teach you to trust God, to make good choices, and to help others.
You were created to do something special! God will always be with you because you are very important to him. You are his girl!
January
You are joined to Christ and belong to him.
1 CORINTHIANS 3:23 NIRV
JANUARY 1
A New Beginning
If anyone belongs to Christ,
then he is made new.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 ICB
Sadie looked at her new baby brother. He was so cute! His little fingers grabbed onto her finger, and his mouth opened and closed as he looked up at her. She wondered when he would start talking and walking.
Babies are a good example of something new. When you ask Jesus into your heart, he takes away all the bad things you have done, and he makes you new like a baby. You can start new with Jesus today.
Dear Jesus, I believe in you. Please forgive my sin and make me new. Amen.
Have you given your heart to Jesus?
JANUARY 2
Be Still
“Be still,
and know that I am God.”
PSALM 46:10 NIRV
When you feel very upset, it can be hard to choose not to scream or get mad. Instead of letting big feelings take over, you can walk away or talk to a parent or teacher.
God can help you. When you walk away from an argument, or if everything around you feels crazy, you are not alone. God is with you!
Dear Jesus, help me when I feel upset. You are bigger than my problems. Amen.
How can you be calm when you feel upset?
JANUARY 3
Pray About It
Do not worry about anything.
But pray and ask God for everything you need.
PHILIPPIANS 4:6 ICB
God cares about the things that you care about. When someone hurts your feelings, he cares. When you feel excited, he cares about that too.
Praying is as simple as telling
God what you are feeling and thinking. It’s like talking to your mom, dad, or a friend. You can tell him anything!
Dear God, I will tell you what I am thinking and feeling because you care about me. Amen.
What do you want to tell God today?
JANUARY 4
God Is Strong
God is strong and can
help you not to fall.
JUDE 1:24 ICB
Olivia tripped over a crack in the sidewalk. Before she fell, her dad reached out and caught her. Like Olivia’s dad, God is ready to help catch you when you fall.
Everyone makes mistakes. God can help you when you do. He stays right by your side even if you go too fast or aren’t careful about what you say or do. God is a good father.
Dear God, help me to choose the right things. Amen.
What do you need God’s help with?
JANUARY 5
Share with Others
Don’t forget to do good.
Don’t forget to share with others.
God is pleased with those kinds of offerings.
HEBREWS 13:16 NIRV
It was Emma’s birthday. Her mom made a cake, and Emma got presents after dinner. It was so wonderful! Emma had an idea of what could make it even better. She could share her happiness with friends!
Emma shared her cake with the neighbor and felt so good when she saw the smile on his face. Sharing can make others happy, and it can make you happy too. God likes it when you share.
Dear Jesus, show me what I can share with others. Amen.
What is something you can share with others today?
JANUARY 6
Good Thoughts
Let the peace that Christ gives
control your thinking.
COLOSSIANS 3:15 ICB
Peace is a wonderful thing. It is calm like a still pond with no waves or ripples on it. You can feel that kind of peace in your heart when you trust Jesus.
In the Bible, Jesus is called the Prince of Peace. He promises to help everyone who asks him for help. If you are worried, you can talk to Jesus. His peace is a safe place.
Dear Jesus, please let me feel your peace like a hug around my heart. Amen.
Who makes you feel safe and peaceful?
JANUARY 7
Peace of Jesus
Let the peace that Christ gives
control your thinking.
COLOSSIANS 3:15 ICB
Peace is a wonderful thing. It is calm like a still pond with no waves or ripples on it. You can feel that kind of peace in your heart when you trust Jesus.
In the Bible, Jesus is called the Prince of Peace. He promises to help everyone who asks him for help. If you are worried, you can talk to Jesus. His peace is a safe place.
Dear Jesus, please let me feel your peace like a hug around my heart. Amen.
Who makes you feel safe and peaceful?
JANUARY 8
Made in God’s Image
People have been created to be like God.
JAMES 3:9 NIRV
You were created in the image of God. This means that you were made to be like God. Each part of you is special. Your joy, your caring heart, and your kindness are just a few things that God put in you.
It is the same way for other people, too. Every person that you see is created by God just like you. No matter how different someone is from you, they are God’s good creation.
Dear God, help me to love people who are different than me. Amen.
What differences do you see between you and your friends?
JANUARY 9
So Proud
In Christ Jesus, God made us to do good works,
which God planned in advance for us to live our lives doing.
EPHESIANS 2:10 NCV
Ella had to do a project for school. She worked very hard on it. When she got an A, she was very proud of herself, and her parents were proud of her too.
You are God’s creation, and he is very proud of you. He is happy with how he made you, and he loves you so much. When you feel like you aren’t important, remember that God made you for a special purpose.
Dear God, help me to know that you are proud of me. Amen.
Do you know that God is proud of you just because he made you?
JANUARY 10
More to Learn
God, your thoughts are precious to me.
They are so many!
If I could count them,
they would be more than all the grains of sand.
PSALM 139:17-18 ICB
Lily went to the beach with her family. She built sandcastles and jumped in the waves. She loved digging in the sand. She even buried her dad in it with the help of her mom and brother.
There is more sand in the world than you can count. God’s thoughts are like each grain of sand. There are too many to count! There is always something more to learn about God.
Dear Jesus, I want to learn more about you every day. Amen.
What is something new you have learned about God?
JANUARY 11
Ask for Help
He gives strength to those who are tired.
He gives power to those who are weak.
ISAIAH 40:29 NIRV
When you are tired, it is good to ask for help. Just like your family helps you, God loves to help you.
God created the whole world and everything in it including you. He knows what you need. You don’t have to be afraid to ask him for anything. He will give you strength when you are tired and power when you are weak. Just ask him!
Dear Jesus, please help me when I am tired. Amen.
What can you ask God for help with?
JANUARY 12
The Best Teacher
Don’t depend on your own wisdom.
Respect the LORD and refuse to do wrong.
PROVERBS 3:7 NCV
Even when you try to do something the right way, you might still make mistakes. It’s good to admit when you do something wrong. Nobody is perfect except for God.
God always knows what is best. Ask him to help you when you make mistakes and ask for forgiveness when you need to. God loves to help you whenever you need it.
Dear God, thank you for showing me what is right. Amen.
What can you do after you make a mistake?
JANUARY 13
Be Kind
The words of a gossip are like tasty bits of food.
People take them all in.
PROVERBS 18:8 ICB
Gossip is saying bad things about people when they aren’t there. It can be mean or even untrue. If someone said bad things about you when you were gone, how would it make you feel?
Part of being a good person is using kind words. Words can make people feel good or bad. Use your words to encourage others. When you use kind words, you please God.
Dear God, help me to speak kindly about others even when they aren’t around. Amen.
What should you do if someone wants to gossip with you?
JANUARY 14
Choosing Friends
Godly people are careful about the friends they choose.
But the way of sinners leads them down the wrong path.
PROVERBS 12:26 NIRV
There once was a baby goat who lost her mother. She became friends with a dog, and as she grew, she acted more and more like a dog. She never learned how to be a goat.
You become like the people you spend time with, so it’s important to choose your friends carefully. Spend time with people who are kind, good, and who help you be more like God.
Dear God, help me to choose my friends carefully. Amen.
Do you have friends who make good choices?
JANUARY 15
Forgive
Whoever forgives someone’s sin makes a friend,
but gossiping about the sin breaks up friendships.
PROVERBS 17:9 NCV
Mia and Sophia got into a big fight. Sophia said something mean to Mia, and Mia said something mean back. Their mom helped them calm down and apologize. The sisters forgave each other and went back to playing.
The Bible says that when you love someone, you forgive them, and you don’t need to keep talking about their mistake. When God forgives you, he doesn’t remember your sin anymore.
Dear Jesus, help me to forgive others and not keep talking about their mistakes. Amen.
How do you feel when a friend forgives you?
JANUARY 16
You Are Seen
LORD, you have seen what is in my heart.
You know all about me.
PSALM 139:1 NIRV
Esther was having fun with her friends until they said she was too bossy. She didn’t mean to be bossy. She was just trying to get everyone to play together.
Have you ever felt hurt when others didn’t understand what you were doing? God sees your heart even when others don’t. He knows and loves you. No matter how lonely you feel, God is always with you.
Dear Jesus, I’m so glad that you know me better than anyone else. Amen.
Do you talk to God when you are lonely?
JANUARY 17
Father and Creator
“Why do you worry about clothes?
Look at the flowers in the field. See how they grow.
They don’t work or make clothes for themselves.”
MATTHEW 6:28 ICB
