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: PHILIPPIANS 4:4-13; COLOSSIANS 3:1-4; 1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-18 No one understands! I’m a failure—useless. People would be better off without me. I didn’t want to feel like this, but the thoughts came anyway. Would anyone notice if I was gone? Have you ever felt like this—hopeless and discouraged? If you’re a child of God, Satan is going to want to stop you. What better way to stop you from serving God than to make you feel useless and like a

READ: 1 CORINTHIANS 12:12-27; GALATIANS 5:13 Whether we have known Jesus for a long time or a little while, we are part of His body—the church— because He saved us through His death and resurrection. But we may mistakenly think we can’t do important things in the church until we’re adults. Thankfully, I wasn’t even a teen yet when I learned that was not true. I grew up in a very small church, so small that there were never enough adults to do

A precious human made by God above On whom He pours out His unending love. Who am I to serve the powerful King, The creator God over everything? Why did He choose me? I don’t understand What He thought when He chose me with His hand. But then, in my heart His voice I can hear. He speaks quietly, but His words are

READ: JOHN 8:1-11; ROMANS 3:23-24; 8:1 Unable to speak, the woman felt fear pulse through her as heavy hands pushed her toward the temple. “We’ll see what the teacher has to say about this,” one of the religious leaders jeered. Despite the scorching heat and the sun shining in her eyes, the woman was cold. Not like this, she thought. A foolish mistake, and I’m paying for it with my life. Too shocked to cry, she felt her heart beat frantically. No

Alive in Christ (Part 2)

2025/10/09

READ: ROMANS 6:1-23; 8:1, 11 There’s nothing worse than feeling stuck in an endless cycle of sin. These sin cycles steal our life, slowly consuming us until we don’t even recognize ourselves. Pornography is a sin that is very difficult to give up, feeding the cycle of frustration and self-hatred. Thankfully, there is one who can break that cycle. Jesus helps you break the power of pornography, or any sin in your life, in a few ways. First, He

READ: GENESIS 1:26-27; 2:24; MATTHEW 5:27-30; 6:22-24 Most people do not realize how harmful pornography is. For many, porn consumption is considered a normal part of adolescence, and some say that it’s a healthy expression of sexuality. And God wants us to be healthy, right? Well, yes, He does. And that’s exactly why He warns us in the Bible that lust, in any context, is a sin. And sin is damaging. Whenever we lust after a person, we are

A Prison Called Self

READ: LUKE 15:11-32; JOHN 8:30-36 The walls of Andrew’s cell were closing in on him. Only this time, it was no figure of speech. He had heard of other prisoners being crushed by their prison cells, and it terrified him. Since he was a boy, Andrew had never known anything but the Prison of Self. He had been born there, along with everyone else who comes into this world. From ancient times, this dungeon had housed countless people, young and old, rich

READ: MATTHEW 11:28-30; ROMANS 8:1-2; GALATIANS 5:1 Have you ever felt weighed down by this world? Like you were a slave to the sin and pain of the past? I’ve been down that road too. And all it led to was anxiety and exhaustion, the exact opposite of what God wants for His people. Every day, I’d wake up fearful, feeling as if I still hadn’t been cleansed from some sin in my life—dragging the past into the future. There was no rest or peace in me,

After all, I’d had almost two years of piano instruction myself—though I wasn’t taking lessons or even practicing much at the time. My grandmother had given us her out-of-tune piano; I could teach kids to play on that. I’d created a summer job! I haphazardly made a

READ: PROVERBS 27:17; 1 THESSALONIANS 5:10-18; HEBREWS 10:24-25; 1 JOHN 1:7 We serve an incredibly intentional God. Even though God alone can satisfy our needs, He still designed us to be in Christ-centered community. The most natural place to seek that community is in a local church. But what if the youth group feels exclusive or there aren’t many teens in the congregation? As a teen, church was a lonely place for me. It was difficult to connect

Unusual poultry breeds and lop-eared bunnies. Giant pumpkins. Ferris wheels, merry-go-rounds, skateboarding, and live bands. Pigs racing for Oreo cookies. And food. Lots of food. Caramel apples and barbecued chicken and warm apple crisp. But for me the most

READ: LUKE 5:31-32; 19:1-10 Ever feel like people don’t like you? That loneliness feels horrible. Even worse? When people say you deserve that loneliness because of something you did. That’s what Zacchaeus must have felt every day. He cheated people out of money, so his whole town shunned him. When Jesus came into town, Zacchaeus didn’t stand in the crowd to watch Him. He climbed a tree to catch a glimpse of Jesus. And as the Savior passed that way,

READ: ROMANS 6:6-14; 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17-21; GALATIANS 3:26-29 Who am I? I wrestled with this question quite a bit during my teen years. I often felt lost, and I sought to define myself through lots of different things: friends, hobbies, how I dressed, my athletic ability, my looks, the size on my clothes…the list could go on and on. And, from conversations I had with friends, I knew I wasn’t the only one. As teens, we struggle with identity so

Are others BOLD AND BIG for the tears that escape with intensity, with audible, soul-shaking sobs? Do you change the font, from broken-hearted to empty, from fearful to raging? Do you include each tear’s backstory or do the tears stand alone, telling their stories

READ: ZEPHANIAH 3:14-17; EPHESIANS 2:1-9 Although my family hosted many guests in our home when I was a kid, the most memorable ones were strangers from Australia. Our house sat near a highway in a rural area. One afternoon, we spotted a young man and woman walking down the road. They wore heavy-duty backpacks and hiking boots. We said “hello” from our front yard, and my dad struck up a conversation. He invited them to eat with us, and as we made

First of all, comparing our walk with Jesus to someone else’s is rarely helpful because we can never know what is going on in another person’s heart or relationship with God.

How do we do that? Should we just try to create positive emotions toward God and maintain that happy feeling for Him all the time? No, of course not! While feelings are an important part of love—and we will have times when we feel lots of love for God—love
