#618: Facing Fear

It’s a sad fact that anxiety is attacking kids across the country.

According to the Center for Disease Control, 7.1% of children have been diagnosed with anxiety. That’s around 4.4 million kids!

There are many reasons for this anxiety, including fear of contracting COVID, worry about finding friends at school, and even dread about what the future holds.

As a parent, it’s important to remind your son or daughter that even when the world feels out of control, we can have confidence that God reigns supreme.

Joshua 1:9 says,
“Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

What a wonderful promise that God loves us and takes care of us.
