New Year Resolutions – Devotionals for Preteens
People begin making resolutions for the new year at a pretty young age. Sometimes parents can guide the preteen’s resolutions by encouraging them to start a new devotional for the new year.
What are the benefits of devotionals for preteens?
- Encouragement to study the Bible on a regular basis
- Guidance in studying the Bible
- Applications for their own lives
What should you look for in a devotional for a preteen?
- Appealing cover
- Format
- Wording
- Engagement
Once a devotional has been selected, how can parents encourage their preteens to follow through and use it as a springboard for Bible study? I posted about Establishing Devotional Routines with Preteens.
I am privileged to be the author of two devotionals for preteens.
Dare U 2 Open This Book is for guys ages 8 – 12.
Just Sayin’ is for girls, also ages 8 – 12.
Each devotion offers a Scripture and a real-life application. Then the reader is encourage to draw or write how it would apply to his or her own life.
I pray that your preteen will find just the right devotional to explore God’s Word in this New Year.
