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: EXODUS 3:1-15; 4:10-17; GALATIANS 5:22-23 Inadequate. Unworthy. Unequipped. As I spent my first few days counseling at a local Christian camp, these words were never far from the edge of my thoughts. It was as though the devil were whispering discouragement into my ear. Who are you to be here, trying to speak the truth into the lives of these children? You always have trouble trying to find the right words to convey your thoughts. Who are you to

READ: MATTHEW 6:25-34; PHILIPPIANS 4:6-13 As we approach the first day of school, there can be lots of anxiety. You might have been bullied last year, and you’re scared to have to go back to your nightmare. Or you might be going to a new school, and you’re worried about having to meet new people and start over. Or maybe you’re just nervous about the stress of your schoolwork.

READ: PSALM 147; ISAIAH 40:10-12, 25-31; MATTHEW 10:26-31 Stargazing is one of my favorite things to do with my sister. We try to identify the planets and look for the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper and Orion, but our favorite stars to look at are the small V-shaped group. In it are two stars that look close together. We refer to them as our “bestie stars.” Standing in the night, looking up at the stars, reminds me how powerful and loving God is

Immortal One: Thou Who Humbly Died

2025/08/03

READ: PHILIPPIANS 2:1-11 Today’s poem is rooted in some of the names of God we find in Scripture. These names point to both His eternal greatness and His servant-like humility. I just can’t get over these “opposite but not” attributes of our unfathomable God! The more I dwell on them, the more I am astounded at the depth of His love. Only a great and immortal God could love so sacrificially, so incorruptibly. Thus, in crafting this poem I aimed at making

I applied to join the group of girls who supported the baseball team at my college. I hadn’t developed a new interest in baseball; I simply wanted to find a fun activity. Surprisingly, I passed the first round of the application and then moved on to interviews. I

We are born with two kidneys, like how we’re born with two lungs, but if we don’t have at least one healthy kidney, our bodies can’t clean up all the toxins that collect in our blood. Thankfully, some people who have kidney disease can go into a doctor’s office regularly for dialysis, having a machine clean their blood, but dialysis

God sees each tear that you cry. He will one day wipe every tear from your eyes. The tears you cried on your pillow at night when you were too sad and lonely to do anything else. He saw those tears.

READ: ISAIAH 9:2; 42:6, 16; 2 CORINTHIANS 4 In Israel in 1947, a young Bedouin shepherd was bored while tending his goats. To amuse himself he picked up a stone and threw it into a cave. To his amazement the sound of something breaking echoed about him. He investigated and stumbled upon clay jars with scrolls in them. He had discovered the Dead Sea Scrolls, some of the most ancient copies of most of the Old Testament texts. These scrolls are over 2,000

READ: 2 CHRONICLES 20:1-30; PSALM 149 Sweat stung my eyes as I practiced the intricate steps of my deadly dance. For the final step, I had always had trouble remembering not to hold my breath, so I imagined myself blowing a dandelion and scattering the seeds as I leapt into the air, swinging my sword in a wide arch. “You are ready,” Uyanga bowed her head in approval before turning to go. What if I don’t feel ready? Gazing up at the starry heavens, I

When worries come up, I cannot fix them. That is not the time to consider all that is bothering me or all that I need to do. When night comes, it is time to ask God to take my worries and fears and help me to get the rest I need for the next day. I am only human. There

If we feel small, he is doing his job well. But God encourages us to be led by what He says about us, not by how we feel. Our feelings aren’t always based on the truth, but His Word is truth.

I’m not sure what appealed to me about these plant “pets.” They consisted of a clay flowerpot, usually shaped like an animal, that you filled with water. The water soaked through to the exterior of the flowerpot where it would nourish chia seeds spread into thin grooves in the clay. Ideally, the seeds would sprout and

Maybe you do the same. When life gets tough, maybe you escape by scrolling, snacking, sleeping in, shopping, or skipping school. In the book of Ruth, life got tough for a man named Elimelek, his wife Naomi, and their two sons. There was a famine, so they packed
