May 15 | Too Late? Jesus Isn’t Done Yet | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus Kids Devotional

Hey Carpool Crew! What happens when something feels completely over? In today’s episode, Pastor Justin shares the incredible story of Jairus and his daughter from Luke 8 and reminds kids that Jesus is still in control even when situations look impossible.

Jairus thought he had run out of time. People told him not to bother Jesus anymore because his daughter had died. But Jesus responded with calm confidence: “Don’t be afraid. Only believe.”

This episode helps kids understand that Jesus is never late, never panicked, and never powerless. Whether a friendship feels broken, school feels overwhelming, or a mistake seems too big to fix, Jesus is still working.

Kids will learn:

• Why Jesus stayed calm when everyone else panicked
• What Jairus teaches us about trusting God
• How to respond when life feels hopeless
• Why “too late” is not the end of the story with Jesus

Scripture Referenced: Luke 8:50 (CSB)

Today’s challenge: When something feels too late this week, stop and pray: “Jesus, I’m not done because You’re not done.”
