Forging Future Disciples: Kid's Daily Devotional
5-Day Kids Devotional: Following Jesus Together
Day 1: Jesus Prayed First
Luke 6:12–16
Devotional: Before Jesus chose His twelve disciples, He spent the whole night praying. Jesus talked to God the Father before making an important decision. This shows us that prayer matters.
Sometimes we try to solve problems on our own first. But Jesus teaches us to pray before making choices, when we are worried, or when we need help.
God loves hearing from you. You can pray anytime—before school, at bedtime, during hard days, or even when you are thankful and happy.
Your prayers matter more than you think.
Reflection: What is something you can pray about today?
Day 2: Jesus Uses Ordinary People
1 Corinthians 1:26–31
Devotional: Jesus chose regular people to be His disciples. Some were fishermen. One collected taxes. They were not rich or famous, but Jesus used them to change the world.
That means God can use you, too.
You do not have to be the smartest, fastest, or most popular person for God to use your life. God wants people who love Him and are willing to follow Him.
Kids can show kindness, pray for others, invite friends to church, and tell people about Jesus.
Reflection: What is one way God could use you this week?
Day 3: Sharing Faith With Others
2 Timothy 1:5
Devotional: Timothy learned about God from his mother and grandmother. They taught him about faith and helped him trust Jesus.
Many people help us grow in our faith, too—parents, grandparents, pastors, teachers, and friends. God uses people to encourage us and teach us His truth.
You can help others grow in faith, too. Even small things matter:
* Praying for a friend
* Sharing a Bible verse
* Being kind
* Talking about Jesus
God can use your words and actions to help others know Him.
Reflection: Who has helped you learn about Jesus?
Day 4: God’s Family Is for Everyone
Galatians 3:26–29
Devotional: Jesus came so people everywhere could become part of God’s family. God loves people from every nation, language, and background.
No one is too broken, too different, or too far away for God’s love.
When we follow Jesus, we should welcome others, show kindness, and care for people the way Jesus did.
God’s family is big, and everyone who trusts Jesus belongs.
Reflection: How can you show kindness and welcome someone this week?
Day 5: Jesus Brings Help and Healing
Reading: Luke 6:17–19
Devotional: People came from everywhere to hear Jesus teach and to be healed by Him. Jesus cared about people’s hearts, bodies, and lives.
Sometimes we need help too. We may feel sad, worried, lonely, or afraid. Jesus cares about all of those things.
Jesus wants us to come to Him with our struggles and trust Him. He also wants us to help others who are hurting.
We can bring people closer to Jesus by loving them, praying for them, and sharing His truth.
