Teens in God: Growing Faith in a Busy, Broken World

-

 

Being a teen today can feel overwhelming. There’s so much happening all the time, school, social media, family issues, friendships, pressure to succeed, pressure to fit in. In the middle of all that, it can be hard to feel connected to God. Sometimes it feels like He’s far away or like you’re not doing enough to really be close to Him. But the truth is, God sees you exactly where you are. You don’t have to have everything figured out. You don’t need to have perfect prayers or know every Bible verse. He’s not asking for perfection. He’s just asking for your heart.



God is with you in the quiet moments, in the stress, in the wins, and even in the failures. He’s with you when you’re trying to study for an exam, when you’re dealing with drama or pain that nobody else knows about, and when you’re just exhausted. You don’t have to be in a church building to talk to Him. Just a simple “God, I need you” or “Help me get through today” is enough. He listens. He cares.



It’s okay if you feel like your faith is small right now. That doesn’t mean it’s not real. God isn’t looking for someone who has it all together. He just wants someone who’s willing to grow. If you’ve made mistakes, if you’ve drifted away, if you’re doubting or questioning, He still wants you. He hasn’t changed His mind about you. Even when you don’t feel close to Him, He’s still holding on.



Sometimes, being a teen who follows God can feel lonely. You might feel like you’re the only one trying. But you’re not alone. There are others walking this same road, trying to keep their faith in a world that doesn’t make it easy. Find your people if you can. Talk to someone you trust. Read a verse when you’re feeling down. Pray even when you’re unsure. Just take one small step at a time.



You don’t need to have a perfect faith. You just need a real one. Keep showing up. Keep being honest with God. Keep letting Him meet you right where you are. You’re young, but your faith matters. You’re still growing, but God is already working through you. You are not behind. You are not forgotten. You are fully seen and fully loved, just as you are.

A Letter to the Teen Who Feels Like They’re Falling Behind 🥰

  If you’ve ever looked around and felt like everyone is moving faster than you, this is for you. If you’ve ever scrolled through social media and thought, how is everyone doing so much while I feel stuck, this is for you. If you’ve ever sat with a knot in your stomach because no matter how hard you try, it still feels like it’s not enough, this is for you. You are not falling behind. I know it feels like you are. When people your age are starting businesses, getting internships, hitting milestones, and talking about their five-year plans like they have it all figured out. I know what it’s like to feel like you missed some invisible deadline. But you didn’t. You are on your own timeline, and that timeline is still valid even if no one else is walking it the way you are. Not everyone blooms at the same time. Some people peak in high school. Some people figure it out in college. Some people need longer to grow roots before anything starts to show above the surface. And that doesn’...
