What Bible verse helps kids get back on track after messing up?
Psalm 18:21 says David kept the ways of the Lord, which simply means he tried to follow the good path God showed him (Psalm 18:21). God's good way is made of simple things: being honest, being kind, loving people, and talking to Him. Some days you stay right on the path and some days you wander off a little, and that is okay, because God gently helps you find your way back.
