Free Youth Ministry Devotional

Awhile back, we created a student devotional on Abiding in Jesus. While it’s now out of print, we wanted to share the digital version FOR FREE!

Our 30-day digital devotional helps students spend time with Jesus and abide in him.

Each day walks through a 4-step process: Refocus, Read, Reflect & Respond.

Refocus: Life is busy, distracting and stressful. Most of us could use some help slowing down our brains and clearing our heads enough to hear God’s voice. Each day of this devotional, we’ll begin with a short, centering prayer to help us focus our attention on the remarkable reality that God wants to spend time with us.

Read: We believe God is present when we read the Bible, and one of the main ways God’s people have abided in Him throughout history is read- ing and meditating on His Word. Each day, we’ll share a short Bible passage to read in a variety of ways.

Reflect: When the biblical writers encouraged us to meditate on God’s Word, they were encouraging us to think deeply—or reflect—on the biblical texts. Each day, we’ll throw out some questions to ponder as we consider 1) what God is revealing about Himself and His ways, and 2) how it applies to our lives.

Respond: In James 1, we’re encouraged to not only hear the word, but also to do what it says. Each day, we’ll offer a few thoughts on ways you can respond to whatever amazing thing God just said to you.
