It was a peaceful night at Penelope Jane’s house. Her mom cooked dinner and her dad watched the evening news. Meanwhile, Penelope Jane happily colored in her coloring book as she listened to TV. When she heard about so many sad things happening in the world on the news, it made her afraid.
It was time for dinner but Penelope Jane didn’t want to eat. Her tummy hurt from being scared. Instead of talking about her day, all the bad things she overheard on the news were on her mind. It was not normal for her to be so silent. She sat quietly in her chair and nibbled a few bites before going to her room. She held Theo, her stuffed turtle, close to her heart as she lay on her bed to think. She drifted off to asleep.
Penelope Jane had a scary dream about what she had heard. She tossed and turned as she slept.
...Did you know that the Bible says you don't have to be afraid! God loves you so much and promises to protect you. He will never leave you!
Find a grown up to read Psalm 91 with you. Talk about how God promises to protect you even in the hard times. Tell God when you are afraid. He is always with you!
