Don't be afraid!

Say something like this and then ask some questions, letting your child say whatever they want to.
Let's look outside. Is it dark or light?
When it's dark, can you see lights?
Do you see Christmas lights?
Do you like them?

Let's try closing our eyes. Do you think the light is still there?

Let's try going in a closet. Do you think the light is still there?

Even when we can't see the lights, they are there!

Lights are strong! God is strong too. Even when we can't see him, he is very hear. We can talk to him anytime!

When you see a light, and when you close your eyes, or when the door closes tight, the light is still there, and so is God! We never need to be afraid!

Pray this prayer. Have your child repeat phrase by phrase.
