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.

Our Guardian-Redeemer: The Book of Ruth

READ: RUTH 1:1-5, 15-22; 4:1-15 When I’m anxious or overwhelmed or I feel like everything is going from bad to worse, I tend to look for the nearest exit door. I want out, and I want it now. 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

READ: JOSHUA 9; JAMES 1:5 In Joshua 9, a group of deceptive people come to the Israelites. They bring moldy bread and wear old clothes, saying that they have traveled far and that the bread was fresh and warm when they left home. The Israelites examine their provisions, and then they accept the lies. Instead of going to God and asking Him what to do, they believe their visitors. Only later do the Israelites find out they have been tricked. When

Remember then that He is there, Your closest companion, most loving friend. He’s there to give you all you need And lovingly touch your heart with strength. To smooth the rough edges of your thoughts And make them peaceful and kind again. He’s there to heal

No Matter What Happens

READ: LUKE 12:22-31; PHILIPPIANS 4:4-13 Anxiety seeped into my brain. What would happen? Would my dad be okay? My dad had been suffering from mysterious symptoms for the past year. Doctors told him it was anxiety, but he didn’t believe it. I was scared. If something ever happens to my dad…I need him. I pulled out my Bible. My eyes skimmed the pages for something—anything— encouraging. I flipped through Matthew, Mark, and then suddenly, Luke 12:27

Elijah, age thirteen, just graduated college. CJ and LJ, at age twelve, were considered some of the best BMX racers in Texas. Do you know someone like that?

People’s opinions can have a strong hold on us. Whether it’s our friends, teachers, family members, acquaintances, or fellow church members, we may find ourselves considering what they’ll think before we do something.

READ: 1 TIMOTHY 4:6-10; 1 PETER 3:8-18 Have you ever faced a situation like this? One time, a man from church came over for dinner, and for the duration of supper and dessert, he talked about crazy conspiracies, wild rumors, and out-there theories supposedly based on the Bible. Whether this man turns out to be right or wrong about the conspiracy theories he shared, sometimes we as Christians miss the point of the Bible when we get so caught up in

He started plainly telling me about the first of two men he had killed in his lifetime. He was only twelve when it happened. He had saved his mother’s life.

A golden crown lay on her tangled hair. White foam curled around her ankles as she waded into the water. Hands shaking, she lifted the crown from her head and flung it into the ocean.

I just need it explained one more time, because it didn’t sink in the first time. Because I still don’t get it. Thankfully, God is very aware of our limitations. He knows that

READ: GENESIS 1:11-31; 2:15-22; ROMANS 8:18-30; REVELATION 21:1-7 We often think that God made animals for us. It’s true, right? Because Adam named them, and God says that we have dominion over them? A problem with this way of thinking is that it can be used to justify the misuse of God’s creation. But actually, God created everything out of the overflow of His love. And when He created humans, He gave us the responsibility to care well for animals and
