God Says I’m Right With Him!

“Who will bring charges against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies;” — Romans 8:33 (NASB 1995)

Sometimes we mess up. But if you love Jesus, God says, “You’re forgiven—and you’re Mine!”

Nobody can tell God that you don’t belong to Him. He already said “yes!” and the Holy Spirit helps you remember that.

Try This:
Draw a big heart and write: “God chose me. I belong to Him!”

Prayer:
Thank You, God, that I belong to You. Help me remember that when I feel bad or someone says mean things. Amen.

God Gave Me Jesus—He’ll Give Me What I Need!

“He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?” — Romans 8:32 (NASB 1995)

God gave the biggest gift ever—His Son Jesus! That means He loves you a lot.

And if He gave you Jesus, He’ll take care of everything else too. You don’t have to worry—God knows what you need!

Try This:
Draw a big gift box and write “Jesus” inside. Around it, write or draw other good things God gives—like love, family, and help.

Prayer:
Thank You, God, for giving me Jesus. Help me trust You for everything else I need too. Amen.

God Is On My Side!

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?” — Romans 8:31 (NASB 1995)

When you feel scared or left out, remember: God is for you!

He’s like a mighty warrior who says, “I’ve got your back!” The Holy Spirit helps us believe that—even when life gets hard.

Try This:
Make a sign that says: “God is for me!” and put it where you’ll see it every day.

Prayer:
Thank You, God, that You are always on my side. Help me remember I’m never alone. Amen.

God Has a Big Plan for Me!

“And these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.” — Romans 8:30 (NASB 1995)

God had a plan for you before you were even born! He called you, saved you, and is making you shine like Jesus.

The Holy Spirit helps you walk in that plan every day. He’s like a guide holding your hand through the whole journey!

Try This:
Draw a road and label parts of it: “Called,” “Saved,” “Shining with Jesus!” Add the Holy Spirit as your helper walking with you.

Prayer:
Thank You, God, for making a big plan just for me. Help me follow You with the Holy Spirit’s help. Amen.

God Wants Me to Be Like Jesus!

“For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.” — Romans 8:29 (NASB 1995)

God made you special, and He wants you to grow more like His Son, Jesus!

The Holy Spirit helps you love like Jesus, forgive like Jesus, and trust God like Jesus did.

Try This:
Draw a picture of yourself with a big heart and write “Be Like Jesus” in the center.

Prayer:
God, thank You for helping me become more like Jesus. Help me listen to the Holy Spirit every day. Amen.

God Works All Things for Good!

“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” — Romans 8:28 (NASB 1995)

Even when things go wrong, God can use them for something good! That’s a promise!

The Holy Spirit helps us trust that God is making everything fit together—even things that seem hard or sad.

Try This:
Draw a puzzle with pieces that don’t look like they match—but write “God fits it all together” in the middle!

Prayer:
God, thank You that You can use everything in my life for good. Help me trust You, even when I don’t understand. Amen.

God’s Spirit Prays Just Right!

“And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” — Romans 8:27 (NASB 1995)

Did you know the Holy Spirit always prays the right way? He knows exactly what God wants and what you need.

Even if you don’t understand what’s happening, the Holy Spirit helps by talking to God for you.

Try This:
Say, “Holy Spirit, I trust You to pray for me!” when you’re feeling confused or worried.

Prayer:
Thank You, God, that Your Spirit knows what to pray. Help me trust You always. Amen.

The Holy Spirit Helps Me Pray!

Sometimes we don’t know what to say when we talk to God. That’s okay!

The Holy Spirit is like a friend who helps us find the words—or even talks to God for us. He knows exactly what’s in our hearts.

Try This:
Next time you don’t know how to pray, just sit quietly and say, “Holy Spirit, please help me.”

Prayer:
Thank You, Holy Spirit, for knowing my heart. Help me talk to God even when I don’t know what to say. Amen.

Waiting with Hope

“For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, through perseverance we wait eagerly for it.” — Romans 8:24–25 (NASB 1995)

Have you ever waited for something special—like your birthday or a trip? You couldn’t see it yet, but you were excited!

That’s like how we wait for Jesus and the new world He’s bringing. We can’t see it now, but it’s real. And God’s Spirit helps us stay excited while we wait.

Try This:
Make a little “hope jar.” Each day, write down one thing you’re thankful for or excited about. Watch how hope grows!

Prayer:
God, help me wait for Your promises with a happy heart. Thank You for giving me hope! Amen.
