The Blessing of You a 5-Day Devotional for Kids by Mark Batterson and Summer Batterson DaileySample

Day One: God Is for You!

“God is on my side.” 

—Psalm 56:9, NIRV

 

Whatever you do, wherever you go,

There’s something important that you need to know.

God is with you. God is for you. 

The blessings of God are all around you.

Devotion

The most important thing for you to know for your whole life is that God is for you. What do you think that means? It means that God is with you, God loves you, and God is in you. No matter what! When you know deep down in your heart that God is for you, it changes everything about your life. How wonderful that God wants us to know His love!

Prayer

Dear God, thank you for being with me and for me. That makes me so happy that I want to [dance? sing? run? hug someone you love?]. Amen.

Activity

Cut out (or have a grown-up cut out) a giant paper heart. Then write down or have a grown-up write down all the reasons you know God is for you. (Here are some ideas: “He provides for me. He sent Jesus to die on the cross for me. He wants me to learn about Him in the Bible.” What are some other ideas?)
