Today's input from the Evangelical parent-and-child group was that God is like an umbrella in the rain.
This is meant to conjure an image of safety and care: just get under, don't get wet, be protected.
Interestingly, for me the mental image is not that, though: I dislike umbrellas. They're no use if it's windy, you have to remember to bring one, you have to carry it yourself, and if the rain stops, you have to put it somewhere.
No thanks, I'd rather wear my jacket.
