A 4-week series that explores how connecting and surrendering to God transforms our perspective on stress and anxiety.
Your students often experience anxiety and stress (shocking, I know). Between school deadlines, friend drama, family arguments and social media pressure, they’re basically pros at it. This series helps point students to Jesus, the only One who offers lasting peace that doesn’t disappear the second their phone buzzes.
In this series, students will explore what the Bible teaches about:
- Bringing our burdens to God
- Connecting with God through intentional prayer
- Finding peace by surrendering control to God
- Anchoring ourselves in God's promise of eternity

Lesson 3: Control or Surrender?
