The teen years can be extremely challenging for teens themselves and also their parents. Instead of trying to control you teen, pray for them and ask for God’s wisdom and love to nurture them through this difficult time. If your teen is willing, you might also consider encouraging them to participate in a daily Bible study. While it might seem on the outside like yet another thing to do, the purpose is not to add another item on the to do list but to help you teen help seek meaning and enrichment through good times and bad.
Here are five Bible studies you might consider encouraging your teen to use:
