This Kids 2026 Lent devotional on I AM statements invites children into a faith-filled journey toward Easter. First, kids will discover who God says He is—the Great I AM. Then, they will learn how His identity becomes a gift they can rely on every day. Most importantly, this devotional helps kids grow in trust, prayer, and love throughout the Lenten season.
When God says I AM, He reveals His heart as a promise, not just a name. For example, He tells us: I AM the Light, I AM the Shepherd, I AM the Bread, and more. As a result, children begin to understand not only who God is, but also who He wants to be for them personally.
Each week, kids will:
Read short Scripture verses on God’s I AM identity
Pray guided prayers to grow closer to Jesus
Complete fun, simple faith challenges
Reflect through journaling or drawing
Take part in creative activities that help truth take root
In addition, each day follows a gentle rhythm:
First we read, next we pray, then we reflect, and finally we respond. Consequently, kids don’t just learn about Jesus—they encounter Him in a personal, memorable way.
This devotional is:

Biblically faithful and theologically rooted
Designed for ages 5–12
Perfect for families, classrooms, and parish kids groups
