Bible

Protection: Faithful - God watches over people who are faithful to Him. Even though we may not feel like God is there, these verses promise us that He is. Sometimes being afraid is normal. You don’t have to fear anything - not people, or places, or even Satan - because God has more power than anyone. He will take care of you. Trust God to protect you, and you will have peace in every situation.

Deuteronomy 24:17, 2 Samuel 8:6, Psalm 31:23, Psalm 37:28, 2 Timothy 4:18

Look up one or all these scriptures with a parent. Discuss what they mean to you.
