Open Heaven For Teens – 29 January 2026, Wednesday Daily Devotional Message By Pastor E.A Adeboye And Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye
Open Heaven For Teens – 29 January 2026 Topic: Are You Overwhelmed?
MEMORISE:
From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. – (Psalm 61:2)
BIBLE READING: ISAIAH 41:8-10 (KJV)
8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
MESSAGE:
As a teenager, life can sometimes feel overwhelming. Academic pressures, friendships, family expectations, and societal trends can pull you in different directions, leaving you feeling drained and confused. At such moments, it is important for you to remember that God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
As we see in today’s memory verse, David felt overwhelmed and cried out to God to lead him to the Rock that is higher than him. That Rock is Jesus Christ, our unshakeable foundation. He understands your struggles and offers peace that surpasses all human understanding (Philippians 4:7).
My dear child, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by any situation right now, I want you to pray about it first. Tell the Lord to lift your burden and make you light. Prayer is your direct line to God, and it costs you nothing. Also, I want you to worship God with songs so that you may reposition your heart to become light. Sing praises, meditate on God’s promises, and remind yourself that He is the Burden Bearer.
KEY POINT:
Jesus is the Burden Bearer.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: MATTHEW 20:1-16, EXODUS 19-21
HYMNAL: 5 PASS ME NOT, O GENTLE SAVIOUR
1 Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
do not pass me by.
Refrain:
Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry;
while on others Thou art calling,
do not pass me by.
2 Let me at a throne of mercy
find a sweet relief,
kneeling there in deep contrition;
help my unbelief. [Refrain]
3 Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
heal my wounded, broken spirit,
save me by Thy grace. [Refrain]
4 Thou, the Spring of all my comfort,
more than life to me;
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in heav’n but Thee? [Refrain]
