For Parents
A child knows what a caring hand feels like, the one that hands them food, holds them steady, tucks them in. Tonight's verse, Psalm 17:14, tells them God's hand is even bigger and stronger and gentle, and it knows what they need before they ask. As you tuck them in, you might press your hand gently on theirs and say God holds them like that, only stronger. Then let them rest without worrying about tomorrow, because the hand that held them today will hold them then.
