Fear & Bedtime
☀️ Fear beside Exodus 20:20
When fear is loud, Exodus 20:20 is a sentence you can borrow. “Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.”” 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. Exodus 20:20 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
