DAY 6: Calling to God

Let’s take a moment today to be with God. If you want to do this as a family, we encourage you to set aside time after your own quiet time to go through the family content at the bottom together.

PAUSE
“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”—Jeremiah 33:3 (NIV)

On day one, we talked about the benefits of being “on the inside” as members of God’s family. Today, we see one of the greatest benefits of being in Christ—access to divine revelation.

While God initially spoke these words to Jeremiah regarding future events, we now experience this promise in an even greater way through Christ. Paul writes in Colossians 1:26–27 (NIV) about “the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people.” Because of Jesus, we’re invited to know and experience the depths of God’s wisdom and truth.

When we humbly seek God, desiring to know Him more, He promises to reveal Himself to us. He leads, teaches, and deepens our understanding of the gospel’s power at work in us.

PONDER

Have you asked God to reveal “great and unsearchable things”? This time of prayer and fasting is a great opportunity to ask for His wisdom and guidance.

PRAY

Heavenly Father, I ask You to reveal great and unsearchable things I do not know. Deepen my understanding of Your truth. Fill me with the knowledge of Your will and the mind of Christ, so I may know and love You more each day. Amen.

For Your Family

PAUSE

Read Jeremiah 33:3 out loud with your kids. Whether you go on a walk, talk in the car, discuss at dinner, or gather before bed, choose a time in your day to discuss and pray together.

PONDER

Share this main idea with them.

• God loves to listen and answer your questions.

Ask them:

• What is a question you want to ask God?

PRAY

Guide your children to pray using these prayer points.

• Thank God for being a good listener and answering your questions.
• Ask God to help you trust Him when you might not understand His answer.
• Pray for others to be brave when talking to God and asking questions.

Pray this over your children:

Heavenly Father, thank You for listening to us and answering our questions. I pray my kids (name them) would talk to You openly, grow to trust You more, and learn more about You! I pray they fall more in love with you today. Amen.
