Children face small choices all day about how to treat people and what to do, and it can feel like figuring it out in the dark. Tonight's verse, Psalm 17:4, shows them God's words working like a flashlight, lighting the safe steps. As you settle them, you might name one of God's words, be kind, tell the truth, and thank Him for guiding them. Then let them rest, knowing they do not have to find the way alone. He is showing them. Goodnight.
