THE MAIN THEME: THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE

TITLE - PEER PRESSURE AND PRIORITIES

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Romans 12:2 (NIV)
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

Devotional:
Sophia was excited to start her first year in high school. She quickly made new friends, but soon they began pressuring her to skip homework for hours of video games. At first, it seemed harmless. But as her grades dropped, so did her confidence. One day, during a youth group meeting, her leader shared the story of Daniel and his friends, who refused to eat food that went against their faith (Daniel 1:8-20). Inspired, Sophia decided to prioritize her studies and her faith. She politely set boundaries with her friends, and though it was hard at first, she eventually found a new group that supported her priorities.

Like Daniel and Sophia, you can choose to honor God and prioritize what truly matters, even when others push you to compromise.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. What are your priorities right now? 
2. Are they influenced by what others think, or are they based on God’s plan for your life?

Let us pray:

Lord, help me to prioritize what matters most to You. Give me the courage to stand firm against peer pressure and trust in Your plan for my life. Amen.

Please say these words of affirmation after me. Say them, mean them, own them, and live them

• I choose God’s priorities over the world’s pressures. 
• I stand firm in who God created me to be.

Have a self determined day, based on your priorities, my lovelies. I’ll see you tomorrow.
