The Holy Spirit Sets Us Free

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” — Day 492 Corinthians 3:17 (NASB 1995)

Do you like being free to run, play, and laugh? The Holy Spirit gives us freedom inside!

When you feel scared, guilty, or upset, He helps you feel peaceful again. He reminds you that Jesus has forgiven you and loves you always.

Try This:
Say out loud: “Thank You, Holy Spirit, for giving me freedom in Jesus!”

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, thank You for helping me feel free inside. I’m glad I can be happy, brave, and loved because of You. Amen.

The Holy Spirit Helps Me When I Don’t Know What to Say

“In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.” — Romans 8:26 (NASB 1995)

Sometimes, praying can feel hard. Maybe you’re sad or scared and don’t know what to say.

That’s okay—the Holy Spirit helps! He talks to God for you. He knows your heart even when you’re quiet.

Try This:
When you’re not sure what to pray, just whisper, “Help me, Holy Spirit.” He understands.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, thank You for helping me when I don’t know what to say. Please talk to God for me and help me feel close to Him. Amen.

The Holy Spirit Helps Me Learn About Jesus

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.”  — John 14:26 (NASB 1995)

When you read your Bible, do you know who helps you understand it? The Holy Spirit!

He teaches your heart about Jesus. He reminds you of what’s true when you forget. He helps you remember God’s love when you’re scared or sad.

Try This:
Before reading your Bible or Bible storybook, say: “Holy Spirit, help me understand!”

Prayer:
Dear Holy Spirit, thank You for helping me learn about Jesus. Please teach me more today. Amen.

God Grows Good Fruit in Me!

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…”  — Galatians 5:22–23 (NASB 1995)

Did you know God can grow things in your heart? Not apples or bananas—but love, joy, peace, and more!

The Holy Spirit helps us grow to be like Jesus, and that means we start showing more love, more patience, and more kindness every day.

Try This:
Draw a fruit basket and write one word from Galatians 5:22–23 on each fruit. Ask God to grow those in your heart!

The Spirit Helps Me Do What’s Right

“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.”  — Galatians 5:16 (NASB 1995)

Have you ever wanted to do something you knew was wrong? That’s what the Bible calls our “flesh.”

But God gave us the Holy Spirit to help us say “no” to wrong things and “yes” to what’s right.

Walking by the Spirit means letting Him lead our hearts every day.

Try This:
When you feel upset or tempted, pause and whisper, “Holy Spirit, help me choose what’s right.”

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, help me to walk with You every day and make good choices that make Jesus happy. Amen.

I Can Follow God’s Spirit

“For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.”  — Romans 8:14 (NASB 1995)

God gave His Spirit to help us live the way He wants. That means when I don’t know what to do, I can stop and ask Him!

The Holy Spirit never leads us to be mean or lie or quit doing what’s right. He helps us follow Jesus.

Try This:
Next time you’re not sure what to say or do, whisper a quick prayer: “Holy Spirit, please help me.”

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, help me to follow You every day. Teach me to listen and obey. Amen.

The Spirit Gives Me Power to Tell Others

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses…”  — Acts 1:8 (NASB 1995)

Jesus told His friends they would get special power from the Holy Spirit. Not superpowers like in movies—but something even better!

He gives us boldness to tell people about Jesus.

You can be a witness by being kind, telling the truth, and talking about what Jesus means to you.

Try This:
Draw a picture of yourself helping someone or telling them about Jesus.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, thank You for helping me tell others about Jesus. Give me courage to be kind and brave. Amen.

The Spirit Shows Me What’s True

“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth…”  — John 16:13 (NASB 1995)

Sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s true, especially when people say different things. But Jesus gave us someone special to help—the Holy Spirit!

He is called the Spirit of truth, and that means He will never lie to us. He helps us understand God’s Word, and teaches us what is right.

Try This:
Ask your mom or dad to read a Bible verse with you today. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand it.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, thank You for helping me know what’s true. Please teach me Your ways and help me love the truth. Amen.

Living and Walking with God

“If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.” — Galatians 5:25 (NASB 1995)

When you believe in Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes to live in your heart. That’s what it means to be alive in Him!

But did you know He also wants to walk with you every day?

He helps you love others, be patient, tell the truth, and say no to things that are wrong.

Try This:
Think of one kind thing you can do today, and ask the Holy Spirit to help you do it with love.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, thank You for living in me. Help me walk with You and follow You every day. Amen.

God’s Spirit Helps Me Make Good Choices

“For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” — Romans 8:14 (NASB 1995)

Sometimes we don’t know what to do. Should I share? Should I speak up? Should I say “I’m sorry”?

The Bible says when we belong to Jesus, the Holy Spirit leads us. That means He helps us make good choices that please God.

You’re not alone—God is helping you walk the right way.

Try This:
When you have to make a decision today, whisper, “Holy Spirit, help me choose what is right.”

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, thank You for leading me. Please help me follow You and do what makes God happy. Amen.
