SUMMARY: In our lives, it is easy to let fear rule over us. When we are filled with fear, it can cloud our judgement, and we can end up making bad decisions. Those decisions can affect everyone around us. However, God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear. With God in our lives, we don’t have to let fear control us. All we have to do is trust God and know He has everything in control. In this lesson, the children will learn from David and how his fear led him to make mistakes that affected not only him but those around him. David learned that it is better to say “no” to fear and “yes” to trusting God. When fear comes in to our life, we can pray and trust in God. He will take away our fear!
POWER VERSE: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” - 2 Timothy 1:7
