Fear & Bedtime
🌾 Afraid beside Genesis 43:18
When afraid is loud, Genesis 43:18 is a sentence you can borrow. “The men were afraid, because they were brought to Joseph’s house; and they said, “Because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time, we’re brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, attack us, and seize us as slaves, along with our donkeys.”” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

Parent tip
If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Genesis 43:18 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
