Tonight’s Come, Follow Me bedtime story for kids is inspired by this week’s lesson:

May 18–24 — “Be Strong and of a Good Courage” Joshua 1–8; 23–24

As we study Joshua in the Old Testament, we follow God’s children to the edge of the Jordan River, where they are preparing to enter the promised land.

But before the river parts…

They must trust God.

In this peaceful Come, Follow Me scripture bedtime story for children, kids will gently experience the story of Joshua crossing the Jordan River, the courage God gave Joshua after Moses, the walls of Jericho, and the reminder that God is always near—even when life feels new, big, or uncertain.

Together, we’ll softly imagine:

🌙 The moonlit Jordan River 🌙 Joshua learning to trust God 🌙 The priests stepping into the water in faith 🌙 God making a way through the impossible 🌙 Jericho and patient obedience 🌙 Rahab’s brave trust 🌙 The peaceful truth that God keeps His promises

Designed to help children wind down for sleep while learning scripture, this gentle Christian bedtime story teaches that courage comes from trusting God—not from being brave all by yourself.

Whether your family is studying this week’s Come, Follow Me lesson, looking for peaceful bedtime routines, or helping children connect with scripture, we hope this story brings peace before sleep.
