A Child's Guide To: God's Nearness in Changeনমুনা

# Safe and Sound > You are my hiding place! You protect me from trouble, and you put songs in my heart because you have saved me. > Psalm 32:7 (CEV) The people who serve in our Military are super brave. We can be very proud of all the tough things they do to keep us safe and to help other people. They go to scary places, do hard work, and sometimes fight bad guys. It takes a lot of courage! Sometimes those brave people get hurt. Sometimes their bodies get hurt, sometimes their hearts. They often deal with a lot of sadness and fear. Even when they get back home, at times it may be hard for them to be okay. They might be afraid of loud noises, or angry at things going wrong, or just very sad. God can help them! It might take a long time for them to get better, but God will be with them every step of the way. And he is with you, too! He promises to be our strength and to save us. He will keep us close and bring us through the hard times. So, if you see your warrior mom or dad having a hard time, pray for them. Ask God to help them heal and to give your whole family strength and hope. ## HERO TRAINING Where do you like to hide? What do you think it means to hide in God?
