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: PSALM 68:4-6; JOHN 1:9-14; 3:16-17; EPHESIANS 1:5 When Father’s Day comes around, how do you feel? Maybe you have a great relationship with your dad and you’re excited to celebrate him. Praise God for that! Or maybe you wish that it was any day but this one. Maybe you decide you’ll treat it like just a normal day. But that’s not so easy to do…You go to church and the message is all about fathers. Your friends can’t hang out with you because

Your shoes are made of molecules, which are made of atoms, which are made of electrons and protons and neutrons, which are made of quarks. Inside the sun are myriad electrons exploding around each other and

A Second Chance: The Book of Jonah

2025/06/12

READ: JONAH 4; MATTHEW 12:38-42; ROMANS 10:9-13 Out of all the biblical prophets, Jonah is probably the most infamous. The book focuses on a prophet who didn’t want to go to the city of Nineveh when God told him to. It’s not hard to see why. Nineveh was a brutal and cruel place, where they removed the noses and ears of some of their prisoners, practiced witchcraft, and worshiped idols. Nineveh wasn’t a happy place. When God told Jonah to go to

You’ve just climbed from the bottom of Yosemite to the top of a mountain. Green trees fill the park as far as you can see. Mountains surround you. The normal response would be to sit down and enjoy the view, right? I was a really busy high schooler. Between

READ: PSALMS 64:1-10; 116:10; 142:1-7 Have you ever greeted someone you haven’t seen in a while with a friendly, “Hi, how have you been?” and they responded with a shrug and said, “I can’t complain”? I never know how to interpret that. I end up translating it in my head to mean, “I’m not quite content, but there’s nothing glaringly wrong with my life.” Often, I end up wondering if they would like to “complain,” but they don’t think they’re allowed to,

READ: EXODUS 16:8-31, 35; NUMBERS 14:8; PHILIPPIANS 4:10-20 Sometimes God only gives us what we need for the moment. Can you relate? Maybe God is only providing enough money for your family to get by each month, or maybe He sent you a temporary friend instead of a longer lasting friendship. You fill in the blank. In the book of Exodus, when the Israelites ran out of food in the wilderness, they began to grumble. They complained to God. Still our

Symbiosis

READ: GALATIANS 6:1-10; EPHESIANS 4:11-16 Do you know what a symbiotic relationship is? It’s when two beings interact, live near each other, and have a relationship that benefits both of them. The animal kingdom is filled with these kinds of relationships. The clown fish lives in an anemone, and it scares away the butterfly fish, one of the anemone’s enemies. The anemone has sting cells that will attack anything that tries to attack the clown fish

READ: JOHN 11:1-44; HEBREWS 4:14-16; REVELATION 21:1-5 I closed the book and pondered what I had just read. Jesus weeps for me? The novel I was reading explained it in such a way that I just had to stop for a moment and think. The book said Jesus is there with us in our suffering. His heart breaks over human pain, and He mourns with us. But He doesn’t mourn because all is lost. Christ will come back and restore everything that has been broken by

He sent three ships, carrying 160 tons of gold-containing ore, back to Queen Elizabeth I in England. Unfortunately, the ore contained nothing more than a pile of yellow mica or iron pyrite—otherwise known as fool’s gold. Fool’s gold looks exactly like the real thing. But it’s completely

My older two siblings were very outgoing when we were young, and my little brother was the baby of the family, so all three of them received a lot of attention. And then there was me, somewhere in the middle. I was a really quiet kid, and it wasn’t uncommon for my parents to “lose track of me.” I can’t
