The Battle Within

Suddenly, her skin prickled with fear. The warm rays of the sun were blocked, and she felt so cold, as the wind started to fiercely blow and pick up debris along its path. She felt a dark presence behind her and quickly spun around. A black cloud moved towards her to consume her, to trap her in its impenetrable darkness. She knew she had to run, to escape the dark presence before it enveloped her-controlled her. Tabitha wakes up in a dark cave not remembering how she got there. As she attempts to escape, she slowly starts to remember the events that led to her situation. Through her journey, God teaches Tabitha that the battle she is fighting is not her surroundings or others, but the negative emotions that have controlled her for so long. This story and Bible study will help teens find ways, through God's Word, to navigate their own emotional battles.
