#263: When Life is Scary

The world is a scary place. Hurricanes pound coastal cities. Riots burn businesses. And in war-torn countries, missiles destroy homes and separate families. Are your kids scared of what is happening in today’s world? Are TV broadcasts, internet headlines, and YouTube videos making them fear the future? Don’t let bad news destroy your children’s courage and steal their happiness. Despite the turmoil around us, use these scary situations to point your kids to Christ. Remind them that in John 14:27, Jesus says, “My peace I give to you.” This verse goes on to say that Christians do not need to be troubled or afraid. So, even though the world may not find peace, we can experience peace in knowing that God is in control.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
