More Valuable Than They

What it is: A new survey from Common Sense Media and Survey Monkey reveals just how the pandemic is impacting teenagers, and it shows there’s a lot of worry.

Why it’s understandable: With so much uncertainty, it’s no wonder they’re worried. They’re worried about whether they’ll be able to keep up with their schoolwork and extracurricular activities, about loved ones contracting the virus, about their family’s ability to make a living, and even about losing connection with friends. And their fears and concerns probably don’t look much different from ours, if we’re honest. It’s important to acknowledge their (and our) very real concerns and to help them make room for uncomfortable emotions, while also pointing them to cast their cares on Jesus. He knows our needs and will provide for them when we seek first His kingdom and righteousness. It’s in Him we trust, and that should give us all hope.
