What Bible verse helps kids on a hard day?
Psalm 18:18 remembers a really hard day when trouble came at David all at once, but he adds, the Lord was my support (Psalm 18:18). Support means the thing that holds you up so you do not fall, like a wall that holds you when you lean against it tired. On your hard days you are not standing alone, because God is right behind you, so you can lean back now and He will not let you fall.
