My Words in Your Mouth: Color a page about Jeremiah's calling to be a prophet.

Give a coloring page to each child, along with crayons, colored pencils, or washable markers to share. Lead a discussion using the questions below as children color their pages.

What is happening in this scene from the video? God is speaking to Jeremiah and calling him to be a prophet to speak His Word.

What does God say to Jeremiah as He touches his mouth? “I have put my Words in your mouth.”

In the video, why was there a glowing effect around Jeremiah in this scene? Because of God’s presence; the Holy Spirit came upon him.

Do we have help to speak God’s Word as Jeremiah did? Yes, we have power and boldness through the Holy Spirit.

Jeremiah was transformed as God called him and touched him, filling him with His Word and power.

What excuse did Jeremiah give to God for not being able to speak His Word as a prophet? That he was just a young child.

What was God’s reply to Jeremiah's excuse? He must go; He would be with Jeremiah and protect him. Read Jeremiah 1:7–8:

⁷The LORD replied, “Don’t say, ‘I’m too young,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. ⁸And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the LORD, have spoken!”

Conclusion: We are never too young—or too old!—to be transformed and empowered to do the work God has planned for us. We only have to trust and obey His plan.
