For Parents
Some days press on a child until they feel like they might fall over, everything pushing at once. Tonight's verse, Psalm 17:11, meets that feeling and shows God with His arm around them, keeping them on their feet. As you say goodnight, you might tell them they do not have to brace themselves tonight, they can lean their whole weight on God. Then let them rest, knowing the One holding them is stronger than anything that pushed today, and He will not let them fall while they sleep.
