There are moments in parenting that feel simple — getting breakfast on the table, brushing tiny teeth, zipping up jackets. Then there are moments that feel so big they make you pause, heart pounding.

Like when your child looks up at you, eyes full of wonder, and asks:

“Is God real?”

It might come out of nowhere — in the car, at bedtime, or while looking up at the stars.

And in that moment, you might freeze. Not because you don’t believe…

…but because you’re afraid of saying the wrong thing.

And that’s okay.

You’re Not Alone

If you’ve ever stumbled over your words when your child asked a faith question, you’re not failing — you’re parenting.

Many of us weren’t raised with a clear script for how to talk about God. We’re learning as we go. We’re trying to pass on something deeply important… without always having the words.

But here’s the good news:

You don’t need perfect answers to lead your child toward God.

You just need presence.

You just need love.

You just need to show up — especially in the quiet moments.

What Kids Really Need

When a child asks about God, they’re not looking for a theology degree.

They’re looking for connection.

They’re wondering:

• Is someone really listening to me?

• Am I safe in this world?

• Is there someone out there who loves me no matter what?

  
  

And the way you answer — with kindness, patience, even just a hug — teaches them more about the heart of God than any perfect answer could.

Sometimes a whispered “Yes, God is real. And He’s always listening” is more powerful than a sermon.

This Week’s Letter Was Made for Moments Like This

At Letters From God, we create mail that speaks to the questions kids actually ask.

Each note is written as if from God — personal, warm, and reassuring.

This week’s letter gently reminds children that even their quietest thoughts are heard by a God who loves them deeply.

It’s the kind of truth that sticks — especially when wrapped in a beautifully illustrated storybook-style message, personalized with their name, and sent just for them.

We want your child to know they are never alone.

And we want you, as their parent, to feel supported too — in every question, every bedtime chat, every curious moment.

You’re Doing Better Than You Think

You don’t need to have all the answers.

You just need to love, listen, and keep showing up.

God can work with that. In fact, He does His best work there.

And if you’re ever wondering how to say the right thing… we’re here to help you say it through a letter your child will never forget.
