Questions Kids Ask

What Bible verse helps kids who are scared of thunder?

Psalm 18:13 says the Lord thundered from heaven and let His voice be heard (Psalm 18:13). Thunder can sound a little scary at night, but God's voice is strong like thunder because He is mighty, and that same big voice is kind, saying I am here, I have got you, do not be afraid. It is like a parent calling out in a strong voice to keep you safe, so if you hear the thunder roll, remember how powerful and how loving your God really is.
