For Parents
Some nights a child lies awake because something felt too big to fix all by themselves. This episode lets them be honest, like David, that the hard thing was too strong, and then hand it to the God it is not too strong for. Tonight, name that big thing together and give it to God out loud. Remind your child it is not their job to carry it alone, and rest.

What Bible verse helps kids when something is too big to handle?
Psalm 18:17 has David honestly admit the trouble he faced was too strong for him, more than he could beat on his own (Psalm 18:17). Maybe you felt that today, when something was just too big to fix. What David learned is that the thing too strong for him was not too strong for God, so you do not have to handle everything by yourself, but can hand it to the One it is not too big for.
