Psalms 23:4

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

The 'valley of the shadow' means the darkest, most frightening times of life. God is present even there.

Memory phrase: I will not be afraid — God is with me.

Talk about it: What are you sometimes scared of? How can remembering God is with you help?

Prayer: God, when I feel scared or the dark feels too dark, remind me that You are right beside me. I trust You.
