Fear & Bedtime
🍞 Fear beside Deuteronomy 20:8
When fear is loud, Deuteronomy 20:8 is a sentence you can borrow. “The officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, “What man is there who is fearful and faint-hearted? Let him go and return to his house, lest his brother’s heart melt as his heart.”” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

Lord, this is a fear night. Keep Deuteronomy 20:8 close enough to remember. Amen.
Two-minute challenge
Say Deuteronomy 20:8 out loud once, then tell one person in the house what feeling it names.
Parent tip
If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Deuteronomy 20:8 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
