Bedtime can be a hard moment for kids—especially if they’ve experienced fear or trauma. This calming flashlight game reminds your child that God’s presence is like a light in the dark, always near and never leaving us. You’ll also help them wind down with a playful “I Spy in the Dark” game, using their senses to explore and connect with the idea that God is present everywhere—even in the quiet, shadowy places.
Share the hope of God’s Word and pray
together.
“The Lord is my light and my salvation
—so why should I be afraid?”
— Psalm 27:1 NLT
Dear God, thank You for being our light.
Help us remember that we are never alone,
even when things feel dark or scary. Thank
You for watching over us as we sleep.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
