Fear & Bedtime
💧 Trembling beside Habakkuk 3:16
When trembling is loud, Habakkuk 3:16 is a sentence you can borrow. “I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place, because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.” 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. Habakkuk 3:16 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
