I got to know God early as well, and I can see many of my own struggles reflected in the collection of prayers. Being a Christian in a world that is so loud and critical against Christianity isn’t easy.There’s always a struggle between choosing God’s way and caving to the ways of the world in order to fit in. When I was young, I wasn’t in a church that preaches God’s grace. So each time I chose to fit in, I would be burdened with feelings of guilt and think that God was angry with me and had turned away from me.I think this book is a great read for all ages, especially teens. Growing up in today’s world can be tough. In my generation, not every action and word is posted to the social media for others to get scrutinized.Today, it’s tougher to grow up or just to survive.This book serves as a comfort, showing readers that we’re not the only ones who had faced with such issues. But the book didn’t end there. It continues to encourage and reminds the readers that we are always loved by God—no matter what! And that’s a reminder everyone needs.When teenagers know that they are loved no matter what they had done or will do, it empowers them to go out and live with the glory of God.
