Chloe has recently been waking in the night because of bad dreams. So far the dreams have been relatively tame; mostly to do with toys! At the church camp she had a dream that her Mike Wisowski (from the Monsters films) toy had 'blown up'. She even pointed to a jumper in the tent, believing it was her 'popped' toy!
Then last night Chloe woke up sobbing saying that her new cars were lost. She kept looking around the room for them and crying and I had to get them out and show them to her before she believed me that they were safe.
I am a little concerned that Chloe is starting to have bad dreams. So far it has been quite funny because what has upset her is so trivial. But I am sure it is only a matter of time before her imagination becomes a more scary place. Because she spends so much time in an imaginary world, I wonder whether this will make her dreams worse?
Lord please protect my little girl as she sleeps and give her sweet dreams.

This is a great opportunity to teach her to pray when she's anxious! I remember being this age and having bad dreams, my parents used to get me to pray about them when I woke up in the night (e.g. "please let my cars not be lost and stop me from having more bad dreams"). Now, as an adult, I automatically turn to God in prayer whenever I am scared.
Now I thank God for giving me strong Christian parents when I was growing up, I'm sure chloe will too.
