About this ebook

What if your daughter’s propensity for “feeling all the feels” is actually a good thing?

Teens and tweens have a reputation for letting their emotions get the best of them, so much so that we often wonder if our families (and the world) wouldn’t be better off if these young women we love could feel just a little less. But as Linda Barrick discovered, these emotions play an important role in the spiritual lives of young women, and, when they learn to direct them rightly, their feelings can be a powerful force for good in their lives, homes, and schools.

That’s why Linda and her daughter Jen wrote this devotional for teen girls. After Linda’s daughter, Jen, was in a traumatic car accident, Jen was in many ways “frozen” at age fifteen and completely uninhibited. That means Jen still says what she’s thinking and feeling almost all the time. Because of this Jen’s mom, Linda, got a unique glimpse into the inner world of young women, and she realized that the emotions young teen girls feel are a beautiful gift. It gives them the ability, like Jen, to have an unhindered, best-friend relationship with their Heavenly Father.

In this 30-day devotional for young teen girls, Jen Barrick, with the help of her mom, Linda Barrick, compiled her own real-life prayers with passages from Psalms in order to speak directly to the heart of young women. It will teach these teens and tweens how to cultivate a deep, emotional relationship with the God who loves them. Each day will:

  • address a different feeling and examine it in light of God’s truth from a short passage of Psalms
  • affirm young women’s feelings as a gift of God
  • demonstrate how their emotions are meant to lead them closer to God
  • show them how to make their faith stronger when they use God’s Word to navigate their emotions

    Priceless - Jen Barrick

    WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

    How would you describe yourself in three words?

    How would your friends or family describe you? (Text somebody who knows you and ask him or her to give you three words right now!)

    How do you think God would describe you in three words?

    WHO ARE YOU REALLY?

    • You are not who you think you are.

    • You are not who others think you are.

    • You are so much more than you may have ever imagined.

    Let me explain.

    God thinks you are valuable, but He also thinks you have fallen short of His high standards for heaven. Don’t worry; everyone falls short of the perfect holiness of heaven (Rom. 3:23). But because God loves you so incredibly, crazy much, He made a way for you to become good enough for heaven. He sent His Son, Jesus, to trade places with you. He did all the work. You only have to receive His free gift of salvation by grace through faith (Eph. 2:8–9). That means believing what Jesus did on the cross to pay for your sins was enough to count for you. It’s that simple.

    Once you accept God’s gift of salvation, you become one with Christ. If you are one with Christ, everything that is true about Christ is true about you. Second Corinthians 5:21 says, God made him [Christ] who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God (NIV). When you become a follower of Christ, you don’t just get forgiveness for your sins, you get to trade everything you are for everything He is. That means you don’t just get to go to heaven someday, you get a whole new identity here on
