Fear & Bedtime
🏕️ Sleeping in a New Place
New rooms have new sounds. Bring a familiar blanket, pray, and remember God watches your going out and your coming in.
With you
“Behold, I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.””
Genesis 28:15 · World English Bible
Courage
“Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.””
Joshua 1:9 · World English Bible
Kept
“Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.”
