Choosing Joy: A Lasting Delight in God

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 3-day Bible study on choosing joy as a teen. Joy is often mistaken for simply feeling happy or having fun. However, true joy is much deeper and more enduring than temporary emotions. This study will help you explore how a strong relationship with God anchors your joy so it can withstand any circumstance.

In life, especially as a teen, feelings can shift rapidly. Challenges at school, with friends, family struggles, or personal doubts can easily drain happiness. But God offers something more powerful: a joy that lasts through every season of life. It is not dependent on things going perfectly, but grounded in His love, promises, and presence.

Over the next three days, you'll dive into Scripture passages that show how joy is a fruit of the Spirit, how Jesus models joy amid suffering, and how daily walking with God transforms our hearts. You will reflect on your own experiences and learn practical ways to choose joy intentionally, even when outside circumstances are difficult.

Embrace this journey with an open heart. Joy is not just a nice feeling — it is a deep treasure that God wants to pour into your life, giving you hope, strength, and peace no matter what you face. Let's begin this exciting discovery together!
