What Bible verse helps a kid who feels bad about something they did?
Psalm 18:23 shows David trying to turn away from things he knew were wrong, and nobody does that perfectly (Psalm 18:23). The good news is that God is full of forgiveness and helps us turn around, like a kind hand on your shoulder turning you gently back toward home. If you did something today you wish you had not, you do not have to carry it to bed, so tell God you are sorry and rest with a light heart.
