Before You Close Your Eyes is a gentle Christian bedtime book filled with 100 comforting stories, child-friendly Scriptures, peaceful prayers, and familiar blessings for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and the grown-ups who tuck them in.
Bedtime can make little feelings feel much bigger. A worry from earlier in the day may return. A new experience may feel scary. A mistake may still be bothering a tender heart. On other nights, children simply need help slowing down after a busy day.
Each two-page bedtime reading creates a simple, calming faith ritual:
- A gentle story based on a familiar childhood emotion or experience
- A real Bible passage shared in clear, child-friendly language
- A full-page prayer to help children talk to God
- The same reassuring blessing repeated each night
The stories explore themes children can understand, including:
- Fear of the dark and nighttime worries
- Kindness, patience, gratitude, and forgiveness
- Starting something new
- Missing someone they love
- Making mistakes and trying again
- Sharing, listening, and telling the truth
- Trusting God with unanswered questions
- Feeling safe, known, protected, and deeply loved
Every prayer ends with the comforting words:
God is near me. God loves me. God keeps me. God gives me peace.
The repeated blessing helps create a familiar bedtime rhythm that little children can eventually learn and say along with their parents or caregivers.
This Christian children's book is a meaningful choice for:
- Bedtime stories and nightly family prayer
- Christian books for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers
- Children who need comfort or reassurance at night
- Baby showers and newborn gifts
- Baptisms, christenings, and baby dedications
- First birthdays, Easter, and Christmas
- Parents and grandparents building an early foundation of faith
Whether the day was joyful, difficult, exciting, or simply tiring, these gentle readings remind every little heart of one peaceful truth:
Before you close your eyes, God is already near.
