    About this ebook

    If God’s grace could talk . . .

    Actually, it already has. And is. And does.
    And here’s what it sounds like.
    It sounds like hope for days when life feels absolutely overwhelming. It sounds like promise that speaks into every relationship, no matter how desperately in need or how dear to your heart. It sounds like sufficiency in all those places where none of us is ever good enough. It sounds like confidence that would make no sense at all except the full weight of God is steadfastly behind it.
    If God’s grace could talk, it would sound exactly like what this book says in every Scripture on every page. And it wouldn’t sound nearly as old as it actually is, because it’s new every morning and within instant reach at every moment.
    It would sound like God, talking directly to you. Because He is. And does.
    And always does it with grace.

      Introduction

      Life tends to maneuver us into categories, into penciled-in bubbles on the random identification form. Some of them we like; some we don’t. Some we actively seek out and continue to pursue; some are sitting there waiting for us and won’t turn us loose.

      But one thing we all know: deep inside these simple boxes and check marks reside entire worlds crawling with complication, challenge, and difficulty. Even if easy to get into, they are rarely so easy to faithfully, successfully, and steadily keep going through.

      As a teenager, for instance, you may often feel inadequate to the tasks given to you or ahead of you. You want to be treated like an adult, but the responsibilities of the future can feel overwhelming. Your days are likely full of activity yet can still feel unfinished. You try maximizing the jobs your particular boxes entail, yet they maddeningly resist being colored all the way to the edges.

      The reason this book exists is because God’s grace never met a check box it couldn’t fill with hope, peace, direction, and perspective—with motivation, counsel, freedom, and opportunity. This book is here, and is now yours, because the Bible not only speaks timelessly to everyone but specifically to you . . . with grace. God’s grace. Sufficient to every place. Even to the places you’re living this very moment.

      Acceptance

      The teen years are often a time when we seek acceptance and belonging with certain classmates and friends, but our deepest security is knowing God and His faithful love.

      But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not look at his appearance or his stature because I have rejected him. Humans do not see what the Lord sees, for humans see what is visible, but the Lord sees the heart.

      1 Samuel 16:7

      Everyone the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never cast out.

      John 6:37

      But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

      Romans 5:8

      If God is for us, who is against us?

      Romans 8:31

      Peter began to speak: Now I truly understand that God doesn’t show favoritism, but in every nation the person who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.

      Acts 10:34–35

      Heavenly Father, thank You that no matter what disappointments and hurts might happen to me today, You will hold me and guide me according to Your purposes.

      Anger

      As a teenager, it seems impossible to contain the anger and frustration that emerges—but we can practice speaking and acting with love, no matter how strong our feelings are.

      Refrain from anger and give up your rage;

      do not be agitated—it can only bring harm.

      Psalm 37:8

      A patient person shows great understanding,

      but a quick-tempered one promotes foolishness.

      Proverbs 14:29

      A gentle answer turns away anger,

      but a harsh word stirs up wrath.

      Proverbs 15:1

      But I tell you, everyone who is angry with his brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Whoever insults his brother or sister, will be subject to the court. Whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be subject to hellfire.

      Matthew 5:22

      Be angry and do not sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your anger, and don’t give the devil an opportunity.

      Ephesians 4:26–27

      Lord, let Your Holy Spirit guide my words and actions when I’m feeling angry so that I can show grace to my siblings, parents, friends, and others around me.

      Anxiety

      Beneath worry and anxiety is a sense that things are outside of our control—but we find peace in knowing that the Creator of the universe holds us safely in the palm of His hand.

      "Therefore I tell you: Don’t worry
