For Parents
A child who feels unsettled at night needs to know something strong stands between them and what scares them. Tonight's verse, Psalm 18:2, piles up the pictures, God is a rock, a fortress, a shield, a strong castle with walls nothing can knock down. As you tuck them in, you might say, "You do not have to keep watch or hold the door tonight." Remind them God is the walls, the gate, and the guard all at once. Then let them snuggle down, safe inside.
