Some nights the dark plays tricks, shapes look strange and your child's imagination starts to wonder what is out there. This episode sits in Psalm 11:2 and meets that fear gently, showing that the dark is not empty but filled with God, who never falls asleep. Before the lights go out, you could remind them that the One watching over them is stronger than anything the dark can hold. Then let that brave, settled feeling carry them off to sleep.

What Bible verse helps kids who are scared of the dark?
Psalm 11:2 mentions things hiding in the shadows, which can feel like how a dark room seems at bedtime (Psalm 11:2). But the truth that makes you brave is that God is bigger than the dark and right there in the shadows with you. The dark is not empty; it is filled with God, who never falls asleep and never leaves your side.
