Psalm 46:1 in the Bible
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
Psalm 46:1 · World English Bible
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.
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.
