Walking with God as a Family: 7 Days of Faith for Kids & Parents
A fun, interactive 7-day Bible study for families to grow together in faith, trust, and truth—with devotions, discussion, and prayers kids can actually grasp.
📘 Introduction (Read Aloud to Kids)
👋 Hey there, family!
For the next 7 days, we’re going on an awesome adventure together—not into the jungle, not into outer space… but into something even more exciting: God’s Word!
This isn’t just a study for grown-ups—it’s for YOU, too! Whether you’re 7 or 12 (or 40-something 😉), we’re going to open the Bible together, talk about what it means, and learn how God loves us, speaks to us, and wants to walk through life with us—as a family.
Every day we’ll read a short verse, learn a cool truth, ask fun questions, and pray together. You don’t have to know everything. You don’t have to have the “right answers.” We’re learning together—laughs, wiggles, and all!
So grab your Bible, your curiosity, maybe even a snack—and let’s get started.
Because when we learn about God together… our family gets stronger.
Let’s go!

Best friends are awesome. They laugh with you, share snacks, play games, and stick with you when you're having a rough day. Guess what? Jesus is a friend who’s even better than that!
He knows everything about you—and still wants to be close. He never leaves when you mess up, and He never forgets your name. You can talk to Him about anything, anytime, and He’ll always be there. He doesn’t roll His eyes or walk away. He stays.

🧠 Kid-Friendly Devotional
Everyone feels scared sometimes. Maybe it’s a test, a dark room, or trying something new. But here’s the great news: God goes with you wherever you go. You never walk into anything alone!
God doesn’t just say, “Be brave”—He says, “I’m right here with you.” That’s the kind of bravery that isn’t about being tough on the outside—it’s about knowing Who’s standing beside you on the inside.
You might still feel nervous. That’s okay. But with God, you can take a deep breath and step forward—together.
🤔 Talk About It

🧠 Kid-Friendly Devotional
Have you ever made a big mistake and felt super bad about it? Maybe you yelled, lied, broke something, or were mean to someone. We all mess up sometimes—even adults!
But here’s the amazing part: when you tell God what happened and say you’re sorry, He always forgives you. He doesn’t hold a grudge or stay mad. He wipes the slate clean and helps you try again.
God’s forgiveness is like a giant eraser—but for your heart.

🧠 Kid-Friendly Devotional
You know what’s better than being loved? Passing that love on! Jesus didn’t just tell us to love—He showed us how. He was kind, patient, helpful, forgiving—even when people didn’t deserve it.
When we love others like Jesus did, it shows the world what God is like. That means including the lonely kid, helping your brother or sister, or forgiving someone who hurt your feelings.
Love isn’t just a feeling—it’s something you do. And when you do it, people feel God through you.
🤔 Talk About It
- What’s one way someone showed love to you this week?

🧠 Kid-Friendly Devotional
You’re not here by accident. God made you on purpose—with talents, dreams, and a heart that’s one-of-a-kind. And guess what? He has a plan just for you!
That plan might include being kind to a friend, helping your family, inventing something cool, or growing into someone who shares God’s love wherever they go. You don’t have to know all the details right now. Just walk with God each day and trust that He’s guiding your steps.
Your future is in good hands—God’s hands.
