For the child who has been moved around, left behind, or made to feel like they don't fully belong - this book was written for them.

The foster system is full of children carrying losses most people never see. The moves. The goodbyes. The questions without answers. The grief that shows up sideways. And underneath all of it, one aching question: Does anyone see me? Does anyone want me? Does God even know where I am?

You Were Always His answers that question with 40 days of Bible stories, devotions, affirmations, and prayers written specifically for children ages 8-11 in the foster care system - or any child navigating displacement, uncertainty, or the pain of feeling like they don't belong.

Each of the 40 entries includes:

  • A retold Bible story featuring characters who were displaced, forgotten, moved, and found - Moses, Esther, Joseph, Ruth, Mephibosheth, Samuel, Hagar, and more

  • A short devotion that connects their story directly to the child's experience

  • A bold affirmation the child can say out loud or carry in their heart

  • An honest prayer written in a child's own voice - no pretending, no cleaning up the hard feelings

Organized into four parts - You Are Seen, You Are Not Alone, You Are Chosen, and You Have a Future - this book walks a child through the full arc of God's heart toward the overlooked, the displaced, and the ones the world forgets.

God has always been a God who finds the ones who feel lost. Moses was placed in a basket. Esther grew up in a home she didn't start in. Mephibosheth lived in a forgotten place called Lo Debar - and ended up with a permanent seat at the king's table. Their stories are still being told. And so is yours.

Perfect for: Foster children ages 8-11
