Bible verses for children
Not abandoned through trouble.
Isaiah 43:2
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you.

When trouble comes, pray and follow safe advice from people who can help.
