Unlocked: Daily Devotions for Teens

Keys for Kids Ministries

Unlocked is a daily teen devotional, centered on God’s Word. Each day’s devotion—whether fiction, poetry, or essay—asks the question: How does Jesus and what He did affect today’s topic? With daily devotions read by our hosts, Natalie and Dylan, and questions designed to encourage discussion and a deeper walk with Christ, Unlocked invites teens to both engage with the Bible and to write and submit their own devotional pieces.

READ: GENESIS 1:26-27; 1 CORINTHIANS 1:26-31; 2 CORINTHIANS 4:7; 5:17 My first day in Psychology 101, the instructor said, “There is no such thing as normal.” That really took me by surprise, but I was glad to hear it because I had never considered myself normal. I saw myself as a high strung, mixed-up teenager who grew into a high-strung, mixed-up adult. Go figure. But the truth is, God created me to be the person I am. He made each of us uniquely,

READ: GENESIS 1:26-27; 1 CORINTHIANS 6:19; 2 CORINTHIANS 5:20; 1 PETER 2:9 As I brushed my teeth, I examined the reflection of my nametag in the bathroom mirror. By now, the words were so familiar I could even read them backwards: “CHILD OF GOD.” I smiled as my other names echoed through my head: “Image-bearer.” “Chosen People.” “Ambassador.” “Temple of the Holy Spirit.” They each flashed onto my nametag briefly as I spat out my toothpaste before

From school to work to extracurriculars, not to mention family and friends, sometimes it seems like my to-do list is ten miles long. In busy times, I’m easily tempted to believe I don’t have the time or energy to read my Bible, memorize Scripture, or pray and seek God’s will. Recently I went through a

When I first met my voice teacher, we talked for a long time, and she told me about how she studied contemporary Christian music in college. She also told me that when she was my age, she felt that God was calling her to sing for people on death row.

READ: MATTHEW 11:28-30; 18:21-35; COLOSSIANS 3:12-14 "How many times should I forgive?” I asked. “My friend has hurt me far too many times. Would seven times forgiving be enough, so pain would disappear and peace be mine?” But then I heard Him say, “No, not enough.” And then He named a number far too high— I could not fathom how that could be done until I looked into His gentle eyes. He seemed to know that I might need it too, forgiveness from another

READ: ROMANS 2:11; 5:8; JAMES 3:13-18 At age eight, I collected bottle caps with no idea of what I’d do with them. I kept those colorful items in our backyard where my brother, who I’ll call “Randall,” and I played. After a while, I forgot about them. Then one day, I joined Randall and our mom in the kitchen and spotted something on the table.

In my yard I see mostly sparrows, not the most exotic of the bird kind, yet as I watch them many truths reverberate in me. The sparrow is a common bird, found on nearly every continent, yet it is mentioned in the Bible on more than one occasion. In the Gospels of Matthew and

READ: GENESIS 50:15-21; ROMANS 8:18-39 My teenage desire was to belong to an encouraging community where I could bless others with my gifts. But I struggled to cling to that dream when my high school experience was a time of loneliness, anxiety, and uprooted plans. After being rejected by cliques, feeling alone at church, and living through the pandemic, I was eager to move out for college. People assured me that this would be where I’d find community
