Strong and Secure: 100 Devotions for Young Women

by Michelle Nietert, Lynn Cowell

Overview

Deepen your understanding of God the Father with Strong and Secure, the 100-day devotional for teen girls and young women that explores topics like anxiety, self-esteem, and the pressures of everyday life and examines five key traits of God to guide you toward building an enduring relationship with Him.

The Bible tells us to think of God as a Father, but what exactly does that mean for teenagers and young adults who are forming their own identities? Strong and Secure considers the nature of the God who protects, heals, brings peace, provides, and is always present, and shows readers how they can experience Him fully and grow stronger as His child. Through personal anecdotes, Bible passages, and practical advice, Strong and Secure illustrates how God is with you in your anxiety, grief, disappointment, struggles, and even trauma, and that He longs for you to find strength and security in His love, even when others let you down.

Strong and Secure:

• Meets young women where they are in life to affirm that they are loved by God and invites them to deepen their relationship with Him
• Refers to specific Scriptures that speak to God’s traits and paint a portrait of who God is
• Includes a section on how to use this book in everyday life, as well as a topical index to help readers find devotions relevant to their life situation
• Is a great gift for birthdays and graduations, as well as moments of struggle
