I tried very hard

"I used to think that I had to obey all of the rules. I used to think that was the way to be right with God. But I could never obey all of the rules. I could never be right with God that way. God was not happy with me. My old self tried to obey the rules. My old self said that was the way to be right with God. I tried very hard. But I did not make God happy. God showed me that way does not work. So I asked Jesus to forgive my sins. I am trusting in Jesus. He made the way for me to be right with God. My old self died. It is not the ruler of my life anymore. Jesus gave me a new life. Jesus is the ruler of my new life"
(Galatians 2:19, The B-I-B-L-E).

God's Word will make you strong

"A tree has roots. The roots bring up food for the tree. The roots hold the tree strong. You need to be like that. You need to keep on trusting in Jesus. You need to keep on learning to know God better and better. God's Word will make you strong. God's Word will help you do what is right. God does lots of good things for you. Be super thankful. Always keep on telling God 'thank you'"
(Colossians 2:7, The B-I-B-L-E).

Jesus is always on our side

"People are far away from God. They cannot save themselves. Only Jesus can save them. They need to trust in Jesus. They need to be sorry for their sins. Then they will be right with God. Jesus is in heaven. Jesus is always asking God to bless us. Jesus is always asking God to help us. Jesus is always asking God to make us strong to do what is right. Jesus is always asking God to help us say 'no' to bad things. Jesus is always on our side"
(Hebrews 7:25, The B-I-B-L-E).
