Love Gives™ 30-Day Gratitude Journal: Youth Edition

Be strong. Take courage. Be grateful. God loves you.

Growing up is a lot. Pressure to fit in. Pressure to stand out. Big feelings that don't come with instructions. The Love Gives™ 30-Day Gratitude Journal: Youth Edition gives kids and teens a daily place to slow down, write it out, and remember how big God's love is for them.

It's rooted in John 3:16. God so loved the world that He gave. Love gives encouragement. Love gives kindness. Love gives forgiveness. Love gives friendship. This journal helps young readers live that out one day at a time.

What's Inside Each Day

• Mood Tracker. Circle or color how you feel today. Happy, sad, angry, content, anxious, or excited. Every feeling is welcome here.
• Devotion. Short, funny, and real. Like trying to carry something heavy alone and wondering if you put on enough deodorant.
• Scripture and Prayer of the Day. A verse written in kid-friendly language and a simple prayer to pray.
• A Gratitude Story. Scan the QR code, watch a real family's story from the I Like Giving video series, then answer a few questions about it.
• Gratitude Challenge. A fun way to put thankfulness into action, plus space to draw what you're grateful for.
