With God on our side, we do not need to ever be afraid!   We all have things, big and small, that make us feel afraid.  The good news is that with God, there is nothing that is too big for us to face.  With Him by our side, we can face anything!  God loves us so much, and He doesn't want us to carry our fear.  He wants us to trust in Him.

Jesus had a lot to say about fear!

Read  Matthew 8:23-27

• What was Jesus’ response to the storm?

• Why do you think the storm didn’t scare Jesus?

Just like the storm didn’t scare Jesus, our fears and problems don’t scare Him either. Jesus is never afraid. He can help us not be scared, too!   He is in control and all we have to do is  just trust Him!
