Hebrews 2:14–16 Devotional: In this devotional, we reflect on the profound truth that Jesus did not remain distant from human suffering—He stepped fully into it. He experienced grief, sorrow, betrayal, temptation, fear, and loss. He knows what it is to feel overwhelmed and weary. Jesus lived a real, difficult human life so that when we struggle, we don’t run to a distant God, but to a Savior who truly understands. Reflection: What is one area of your life where you feel worn down, discouraged, or burdened right now? How does knowing that Jesus truly understands your pain change the way you approach Him? Prayer Prompt: Thank God for sending Jesus not only to save you from sin, but to walk through suffering with you. Ask Him to meet you in your current struggle, to bring comfort, strength, and renewed hope as you lean on Him today.

John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” Reflection: How can you abide in Christ more intentionally today? Prayer Prompt: Ask Him to help you stay connected to Him.

Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Reflection: What decision or situation do you need God’s guidance in? Prayer Prompt: Ask Him to light your next steps.

Isaiah 40:31 “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” Reflection: Where do you feel spiritually or emotionally exhausted? Prayer Prompt: Ask God to renew your strength as you wait on Him.

Devotional: Adopted by God In this devotional, we discover that your adoption into God's family wasn't an afterthought—it was part of His eternal plan before the world even began. You don't have to earn your place or prove your worth. Through Jesus, you've been welcomed into God's family exactly as you are. Find comfort in knowing that your adoption is firm and unshakeable, and that your identity as God's beloved child can never be taken away. Reflection Questions: - How do you typically define your identity? (By your roles, accomplishments, struggles, relationships?) - What does it mean to you that God chose you for adoption before you could do anything to earn it? - How does it feel knowing you're loved and accepted right now—not for who you'll become, but for who you are today? Prayer Prompt: Ask God to help your heart truly believe that you have a permanent place in His family. Thank Him for the security and rest that comes from knowing you belong to Him—not because of what you've done, but because of what Jesus has done for you. ***Find all Video Devotionals in the Classroom tab***
