Press Pause - Teen Devotional: Creating Space for Rest Volume 8

Take a Break!

For so long, culture and society have based our worth on what we do and achieve. That has led us to be overworked, overscheduled, busy people. Life never seems to stop. God wants us to live differently. From the very beginning, God has commanded rest and intentional time in communion with Him. But how do we create space for life-giving rest when we are busy giving our time to other things? God’s Word gives us a thorough blueprint on how to make rest a routine and shows us what can happen when we don’t pause and rely on Him. In this thirty-day devotional, we will learn why God wants us to rest in Him.

In this 12-volume series, each 30-day devotional will point to the unchanging truth of God’s love and anchor students in His Word as they walk through the seasons of change and milestones that come with each passing year. Students will learn to Discover God’s Word, Delight in the Lord, and Display God’s work in their lives.

Discover (Identity + Theology): Who is God? Who am I in light of who God is? These are two of the most important questions students can grapple with because in discovering who God is, they learn who He has meant for them to be. Studies within the Discover category will help students align their lives under God’s rule which will give them confidence in who they were created to be.

Delight (Spiritual Disciplines): What does it mean to delight in God? What leads to delight in God? Helping students see God in every detail teaches them to delight in Him. When students find their delight in God, they will learn what it means and how to be in relationship with Him.

Display (Leadership, Mission, + Disciple Making): How do students display the glory of God? How do they help others grow in their relationship with Him? How can they lead others to display the truth of God? Through students learning to lead, live on mission, and make disciples, God’s glory is on display and His kingdom is expanded.

Each book includes 30 daily devotions, applicable Scripture, prayer prompts, and practical application.
