“Don't be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
Nehemiah 8:10 · World English Bible
What this verse means
This verse says something wonderful: the joy that comes from God actually makes us strong. When a child is tired or discouraged, remembering how good God is can give them a real lift — a strength that doesn't depend on how they feel that day. God's joy is like a well they can keep coming back to.
When to use it: A hopeful page for a low or tiring day, or a lesson on where our strength really comes from.
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.
