There are many aspects to becoming Godly, so I’ll just cover the basics. It does not happen overnight (sometimes I wish it did, though!). It takes time, patience and perseverance.
QUIET TIME – If you want to become a Godly teen, this is the place to start. If you don’t have a quiet time, I would suggest picking a time, either right after you wake up or right before you go to bed. During your quiet time, pick a special place where you can be alone. Keep a notebook and write your thoughts and prayer requests down. Then pray. Tell God what’s on your mind; He’s ready to listen. Once you’re done praying, open up your Bible and read a chapter. Let God speak to you through His Word. Write down any thoughts on the chapter you read in your notebook and date it.
GET RID OF SIN – Pray to God and confess your sin. Ask Him for help. If you have something you need to resolve between someone else, do it. Don’t let a broken relationship suffer; fix it. You may want to add your sin areas as a prayer request in your notebook and pray for it every time you feel like you’re struggling with it. God’s ready to help you when you need it.
DEVELOP YOUR CHARACTER – Find a woman you know who has a strong walk with God. This should be a woman you admire and want to be like when you grow up. Ask her any questions you have. Find out how she achieved the character she now has – take the advice she gives, and put it into practice!
I could go on and on – there are so many aspects of becoming Godly – but I’ll stop there. If you would like some more detailed advice on becoming Godly, read the book “A Young Woman After God’s Own Heart” by Elizabeth George, or “Beautiful Girlhood” by Karen Andreola. These books have been a very good guide to me in my walk with Christ.
