Hey Teens!

“You say, ‘I have the right to do anything’—but not everything is beneficial. I will not be mastered by anything.” 1 Corinthians 6:12 (NIV)

Life throws challenges, and sometimes people turn to substances—like drugs, alcohol, or vaping—to escape pressure, pain, or just to fit in. But here’s the truth: anything that controls you takes the place of God in your life. That’s not freedom—it’s slavery in disguise.

God made your mind sharp, your body strong, and your soul pure. These things don’t need to be numbed or poisoned—they need to be protected. Saying "no" isn’t weakness; it’s strength. It’s courage. You are not missing out—you’re rising above.

Remember: What you allow in your body affects your future. Keep it clean. Keep it holy. You were made for more than temporary highs—you were made for eternal purpose.

Lord, give me the courage to say no to anything that harms my body, mind, or spirit. Help me choose what is good, pure, and pleasing to You. Make me bold to stand apart and live for You. 

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Jesus loves you!
