This is exactly what I needed. I have my first real day of school tomorrow and last year I didn’t do the best job at evangelizing or even talking about Jesus. This year my goal is to fix that and I spent literally all summer alone with him and even got baptized and I feel a lot more prepared for this year. Pray for me guys 🙏 🫶🏻 I’m praying for all of you too! 24-25 is the year of the Lord! We all got this!

[FlorenceLunsford-sknj]

All try to support your channel if l can

[afrofaeries]

Y’all please pray for me 😭🤍 I’m a 20 year old baby Christian going back into the faith and just getting baptized last week. I never had sex, never drank, never did drugs, and never even had my first kiss! I pray the Lord sends me a tight knit Christian community and the strength to not only hold my GPA up but to remember that Jesus will provide for His daughters and sons this school year. Thank you, God bless ✝️🙏🏾

Oh my gosh God is so good. I prayed for a friend in my spanish class because I was all alone and I’m not very extroverted. The very next day a new girl came into the class and I just got up and had the confidence to talk to her. Now we’re friends and I don’t hate that class anymore. Praise God. ❤

*Our God indeed is a covenant keeping God. Has he said a thing and not perform it? I watch how things unfold in my life, from penury to $356, 000 every three months and I can only praise him and trust him more. Hallelujah 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻*

[EvelynCharbon]

I have a prayer request for my friend. In May, he was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer. It would mean so, so much if anyone who reads this would add him and his family to your prayers <3 my friend is definitely a warrior and has been trying his best to trust God in this situation. He tries to come to school when he can, so another prayer request would be that he is able to come to school more and feel good enough to do so.
Thank you so much for everyone who prays for him, and God bless you all <3

Thank you so much for all of this amazing advice! I'm a sophomore this year, and these are some of the tips I learned as a freshman that really helped me as the year went on:
1.) Be bold in your faith and take every opportunity to share the gospel
2.) Don't gossip AND don't listen to it - politely shut down the conversation, change the conversation, or even just walk away! Rejoice in truth, not evil
3.) Wake up early to Bible study, and maybe even do a quick Bible app devotional during a free time at school (this really helped my mindset last year!)
4.) Make homework/studying fun by going to a coffee shop or library, lighting a candle, playing calm worship music, wearing comfy clothes, etc.
5.) Spend time with friends that are either Christians or are willing/open to learn! If there aren't any Christian friends at your school, start a Jesus club, bible study, or get plugged into youth group!
6.) Decorate locker with verse cards or stickers
7.) Don't just look for people who like you to spend time around, look for the people who need a friend
8.) Have an accountability partner (an older, godly friend or family member) who can mentor you in your high school struggles
