September 3rd: Trusting God Instead of Yourself | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus


Listen Later

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Whether you’re already thinking about lunch on the ride to school or enjoying a chocolate chip muffin at the kitchen table — I’m Pastor Justin, and I’m so glad you’re here.

We’re continuing our Proverbs for Your School Life series, where we look at wisdom Jesus would’ve memorized as a kid — and how it still helps you with real-life choices today.

Today’s verse is one of the most famous in all of Proverbs:

👉 Proverbs 3:5–6 (CSB)
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; in all your ways know him, and he will make your paths straight.”

💡 What does this mean?

  • Don’t try to be the boss of your own life.

  • Trusting God means giving Him all your heart, not just some of it.

  • Straight paths (in Bible times) meant safe paths—God shows us the way that leads to real peace and protection.

    ✅ In this episode, kids will learn:

    • What trusting God looks like when school, friends, or emotions get tough

    • Why Jesus invites us to follow Him step by step—not have it all figured out

    • How to live like Jesus did: with full trust in His Father

      đŸ›č A great visual? Think of it like this:

      You’re at a new skate park, and someone who knows the place says, “Follow me — I’ll show you the best path.” You could try it alone and risk a wipeout
 or trust the one who’s been there.
      That’s what trusting God is like — not about holding back, but avoiding the wipeouts.

      📘 Application for today:

      1. Start your day by saying: “God, I trust You. If You want to say something, I’m listening.”

      2. When you’re not sure what to do, don’t fake it — ask a parent, teacher, or someone you trust.

      3. Let God’s Word lead you, not just your feelings.

        đŸ‘šâ€đŸ‘©â€đŸ‘§ Parent Tip:

        Ask your kids today:
        “What’s one decision you’re facing where you need to trust God more than yourself?”
        If this podcast helps your family follow Jesus, share it with a parent friend or post about it in your Facebook group.
