“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous hand.” Isaiah 41:10. God does not want us to live in fear and anxiety.

Throughout the Bible we are reminded that God is with us and we have no need to be frightened. Jesus came to free us from fear. We have all been afraid at some time or another. It is nothing to be ashamed of. But when we invite Jesus into our lives, we are no longer alone and no longer need to be afraid.

The scared child needs plenty of compassion and support from their parents. If they are afraid of the dark, don’t downplay the fear as you close the door behind you leaving them in a dark, scary room. The only chance they have in overcoming fear is by working through this process slowly with a loving, caring parent guiding them though their fear.

However, be careful not to coddle a frightened child. You do need to find appropriate challenges that will help them take small, but manageable steps, towards overcoming fear and gaining confidence.  Draw your scared child in gradually allowing them to take their own time overcoming fear. The process may at times seem painfully slow to you, but allowing them to overcome fear in their own way and on their own timetable will ensure positive growth that will be permanent rather than temporary.

The soaking music from ThumbPeople Inc. was designed to help the frightened child in overcoming fear. Fear in children, whether a fear of the dark, animals or being alone, is very real and should not be taken lightly. “Words of Love,” “Words of Healing” and “Words of Blessing” combines soothing music with passages from the Bible which surrounds us with positive, hopeful words that will encourage and support us.

How freeing it is to recognize that when we are faced with danger and uncertainty, we do not have to panic and that we can depend on God to control the outcome. God said, “Do not be afraid.” God’s message is loud and clear. Don’t continue to live in fear for another moment! Turn your eyes towards Jesus and live in the confidence and hope that Christ promises.
