Fear & Bedtime
🛌 Nightmares & Bad Dreams
Dreams can feel real and then disappear when you open your eyes. Tell a grown-up what you saw, then ask God for a quiet heart.
Peace
“In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety.”
Psalms 4:8 · World English Bible
Night
“You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;”
Psalms 91:5 · World English Bible
Rest
“When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.”
Proverbs 3:24 · World English Bible
