Hey Carpool Crew!
Tonight’s Goodnight Psalms episode reflects on Psalm 37:4, reminding kids what it means to delight in the Lord. Delight means enjoying something on purpose — like a favorite dessert, a laugh with a friend, or a quiet, peaceful moment.
This gentle bedtime devotional helps children understand that God loves being with them and cares deeply about their hearts. As they wind down for sleep, kids are encouraged to rest knowing God delights in them and loves sharing every moment of their day.
A calm, reassuring way to end the night with gratitude, joy, and trust in God’s love.

Hey Carpool Crew!
In tonight’s Goodnight Psalms, we find peace and comfort in Psalm 27:1 — “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?”
When the world feels dark or worries seem loud, God’s light still shines. His presence glows around you — warm, steady, and safe. You don’t have to be afraid, because the Lord is with you, lighting your path and guarding your heart.
Take a deep breath, let your thoughts slow down, and rest in the gentle light of God’s love tonight.

Hey Carpool Crew!
As the world grows quiet and your thoughts begin to slow, remember — your strength doesn’t come from the world, it comes from God. Psalm 20:7 says, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.”
That means when others depend on what seems powerful or impressive, you can rest knowing your trust is in something far greater — God’s unshakable love and power. His name never changes, and He never fails.
So when your heart feels unsure, take a deep breath, whisper His name, and remember — God is strong enough to carry you.
