Some nights a child worries about a hard right choice waiting for them tomorrow, and doing the right thing can feel scary. This episode sits in Psalm 14:5 and reminds them that God stands close to people who try to do what is good, like a strong, kind friend who makes you braver just by being there. After the lights are off, you could tell them one simple thing: when you choose honesty and kindness, you are never doing it alone. Then let that courage settle over them as they drift off to sleep.
