John 6:17

John 6:17

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

Darkness and absence — two of the most vulnerable feelings anyone can have. This is the human experience into which Jesus is about to walk on water.

Memory phrase: Dark and alone — but not for long.

Talk about it: What helps you feel safe when it is dark and you are afraid?

Prayer: Jesus, when I feel alone in the dark, remind me You are coming.
