Who Do You Say That I Am for Kids: A 2026 Lent Devotional on God’s I AM Statements by Olivia Spears

" This Kids 2026 Lent devotional on I AM statements invites children into a faith-filled journey toward Easter. First, kids will discover who God says He is—the Great I AM. Then, they will learn how His identity becomes a gift they can rely on every day. Most importantly, this devotional helps kids grow in trust, prayer, and love throughout the Lenten season.

When God says I AM, He reveals His heart as a promise, not just a name. For example, He tells us: I AM the Light, I AM the Shepherd, I AM the Bread, and more. As a result, children begin to understand not only who God is, but also who He wants to be for them personally.
