About this ebook

God’s Power in Me is an interactive 52-day devotional that encourages young readers 8-12 to break free from negative thinking and focus on the positive truths of who God made them to be. Through daily devotions paired with a 90-second affirmation kids can say aloud every day, readers will grow closer to God and learn to challenge the personal doubts that might be holding them back.

I’m not good enough. I don’t deserve to be their friend. And things will never change. Kids tell themselves things like this every day, and popular Bible teacher and speaker Margaret Feinberg wants to help them defeat those self-doubts and stop believing the lies—because God only tells us the truth about ourselves, and that truth is we are all meant to have a joyous and powerful life.

Throughout the devotions in God’s Power in Me, kids will discover:

  • Quick daily affirmations they can hold on to, biblical teachings, and practical applications for their own lives
  • Inspiration to banish any negative thoughts and ideas they may have
  • Encouragement to stand in their own truths while also growing closer to God in the process

God’s Power in Me:

  • Has an engaging two-color interior
  • Is perfect for anyone ages 8-12 going through their pre-teen years, and can be used by girls and boys
  • Provides kids with the tools to actively attack automatic negative thoughts every day while also encouraging spiritual development
  • Can be used over and over as a daily devotional
  • Is a great gift for Confirmation, Easter, birthdays, or to offer encouragement

    JESUS IS KING OF MY LIFE.

    LIE: I’D BE HAPPY IF ONLY .

    You shall have no other gods before me.

    EXODUS 20:3

    When Moses, the leader of the Israelites, disappears up the side of a mountain, those left behind get worried. They start thinking maybe their leader has fallen off a cliff. The people run to Moses’s brother Aaron and say they’ll be happy if only they can have a god to lead them. So, they pile up everyone’s gold earrings, melt them down, and forge a fancy cow sculpture. Then they throw a raging party and parade the golden beast all over camp.

    Convinced God is too difficult to follow, they create a god they can lead wherever they want.

    The Lord is fuming at their betrayal and by the time Moses returns to camp with two stone tablets in his hands, he finds a wild party. Moses gets so upset he smashes the tablets and grinds the golden calf into powder, never to be seen or worshiped again. When Moses asked the people to choose, either you’re for the Lord or you’re not, God spared the lives of those that chose him.

    Moses climbs the mountain a second time. He comes back with a couple of brand new tablets listing all the rules on idolatry. God says his people can’t have other gods or make anything an idol (Exodus 20:3–4). In fact, he says if they make idols, they will be punished and so will their kids, and their kids, and their kids, and their kids (see Exodus 20:5). God’s not messing around.

    So what does all this talk about idols have to do with you? You don’t have any idols, or do you? Here’s how to find out. Fill in the blank:

    I’D BE HAPPY IF ONLY .

    Whatever you put in the blank is an idol.

    When you need something more than God to make you happy, you create idols. Baby gods—those things you love so much and can’t possibly live without—promise to save and complete you, but ultimately they crush you. They make you feel good until they make you need them so much you feel like you’d die without them. And you end up giving your heart to something you think will save you but ultimately destroys you.


    When you confess that Jesus is the only ruler of your life, you will find God’s rescue from darkness.


    The Lord has designed a better way for you to live. When you confess that Jesus is the only ruler of your life, you will find God’s rescue from darkness and enjoy a full and eternal life. The choice is yours.

    DECLARATION

    JESUS IS KING OF MY LIFE.

    Today, think about your idols. Write in the space below, all the things that could fit in the blank: I’d be happy if only . Then look at the list and give them all to God. Make the declaration Jesus is King of my
