May 27 | Talking to God Anytime | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

2026-05-27

Hey Carpool Crew! Most kids think prayer is something fancy. Quiet church voice. Hands folded. Eyes squeezed shut extra tight. Special words they're not sure they can pull off. So a lot of kids skip it because they're not sure they're doing it right. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Luke 11:1, where Jesus' own friends asked Him, "Lord, teach us to pray." Jesus didn't hand them a complicated formula. He gave them a short, real, honest prayer we now call the Lord's Prayer. The point lands clean for kids. God is close. He's listening. You don't need fancy words...

Hey Carpool Crew!

Most kids think prayer is something fancy. Quiet church voice. Hands folded. Eyes squeezed shut extra tight. Special words they're not sure they can pull off. So a lot of kids skip it because they're not sure they're doing it right. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Luke 11:1, where Jesus' own friends asked Him, "Lord, teach us to pray." Jesus didn't hand them a complicated formula. He gave them a short, real, honest prayer we now call the Lord's Prayer. The point lands clean for kids. God is close. He's listening. You don't need fancy words to talk to Him.

This episode gives kids three real prayer moves to try this week. The wake-up prayer. The middle-of-the-moment prayer. The two-sentence bedtime prayer. About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on before they jump out of the car.

Today's One Thing: You can talk to God any time, and He hears you.

Scripture: Luke 11:1 (CSB)
