Connect with your kids during a short meditation on how God helps us sleep in peace.
At night when we lie down to go to sleep, it can feel kind of scary or lonely. Sometimes we start thinking of all the things we have to do tomorrow, or we worry about being alone in our beds.
You can lie down in peace - with calmness and feeling safe - because even though you can’t see him, God is right there with you.
Verses:
In peace I will lie down and sleep,
For you alone, LORD,
Make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 4:8 NIV
Activity idea:
Sleep role play: Practice lying down with your kids and taking turns asking God to help you sleep with peace.
Questions:
Is it hard for you to fall asleep at night?
What things might make you scared to fall asleep?
Ask God to give you peace tonight when you lie down to sleep.
