“Speak the true words, honey. Go ahead.”  

When your girl struggles to face a giant in her life—a big audition, overcoming extreme shyness in a new group, or trying a food she’s previously avoided—how do you respond to her trial? Do you encourage her to speak her emotions or to suppress them? 

Using a few words to speak what your girl feels in real time offers a lifelong vehicle to both communicate with the Lord and with people she trusts. But don’t stop there—nudge her a step further to speak a Biblical Truth about her fears. You will find Old and New Testament verses that apply to nearly every situational struggle. Most importantly, have her speak them aloud—bringing God’s Truth into her right-now life.
