For Parents
Some nights your child goes to bed replaying a day that did not go their way, a mistake, a moment that felt unfair. This episode sits in Psalm 13:4 and reminds them that hard days are like a tough chapter in the middle of a good book, not the ending, because God is still working. After lights out, you could say one quiet thing: tomorrow is a brand new day with fresh chances. Then let that settle as they drift off to sleep.
