Fear & Bedtime
👑 Trembling beside Jeremiah 5:22
When trembling is loud, Jeremiah 5:22 is a sentence you can borrow. “Don’t you fear me?’ says Yahweh ‘Won’t you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it can’t pass it? Though its waves toss themselves, yet they can’t prevail. Though they roar, they still can’t pass over it.’” 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. Jeremiah 5:22 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
