For He Will Command His Angels

For He Will Command His Angels is a comforting bedtime story inspired by Psalm 91:11, written to help children feel safe, protected, and at peace—especially after a scary dream or difficult night.

When Isabelle wakes from a nightmare, she carries her stuffed panda, Mr. Panda, into her mama’s bedroom. Wrapped in her mama’s arms, Isabelle hears a familiar Bible verse and a gentle prayer spoken over her—reminding her that God is always near and that His angels watch over her with love.

Written by therapist and author Sydney Thomas Scoggins, LICSW, this story models emotional reassurance, secure attachment, and faith as a source of comfort rather than fear. It invites children to bring their worries into safe connection and rest in God’s protection.

Perfect for bedtime, moments of anxiety, or nighttime fears, For He Will Command His Angels helps children calm their bodies, quiet their thoughts, and return to rest.
