Today’s girls are experiencing a laundry list of difficulties that will shape their outlook on the world for a lifetime. If viewed without whole trust in God, these trying experiences can feel very overwhelming.

Good news though: we are not the first humans to experience difficulty! In fact, Scripture is full of stories of hardship. In Isaiah we read: “They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks.”
