Psalm 17:2 | God Sees What Really Happened
This episode helps a child who felt wronged today hand the unfair feeling to a God who saw the whole thing.
For Parents
Some days a child goes to bed still stinging from something unfair, blamed for something they did not do, or not believed. Tonight's verse, Psalm 17:2, reminds them God saw the whole thing and knows the truth, even when no one else does. As you tuck them in, you might let them tell you what felt unfair, then hand it to God together. Let them set it down before sleep, resting in the fact that He sees them and cares about what is right.
