The full verse

Psalm 46:1 in the Bible

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

Psalm 46:1 · World English Bible
For a child

What this verse means

A refuge is a safe place to run to when a storm comes. This verse says God is exactly that, a shelter and a strength, and "a very present help," which means He's not far off but right here whenever trouble shows up. A child can picture running straight to God and finding they're safe.

When to use it: A steadying page during a hard or scary season, or a lesson on running to God as our safe place when trouble comes.

Make it yours

Coloring and memory-verse tips

  • Say the verse aloud a phrase at a time while your child colors. Coloring keeps hands busy while the words sink in.
  • Let them color the big bubble letters two alternating colors so the verse is easy to read from across the room.
  • Add the child's name and today's date in a corner, then hang the finished page where they'll see the verse each day.
  • Print on cardstock if you plan to use markers, so the colors stay bright and the ink doesn't bleed through.
