Since fear is a normal feeling we all have, it’s very important to know what to do when you are afraid. That’s why we are excited to have you here at Camp Braveheart to discover what the Bible says about being afraid and what you are to do when you are afraid.

1. God is in control —God is with me. God rules over all my circumstances. God had a plan for Joseph, and God has a plan for me. I will trust God.

2. God causes all things to work together for good —If I am God’s child, God will take the ugly, the bad, the scary, and the things others mean for evil and work it together for my good and His purpose.

3. Give thanks in everything —Being thankful puts my focus on God’s goodness and not my circumstances. When I am thankful, the God of all peace will give me peace in my heart.

4. Trust God —When I trust God, I am like a tree planted by a stream with green leaves bearing fruit even when the hard times come! I will be blessed! God is my God. He will strengthen me, He will help me, and He will uphold me with His righteous right hand. I will trust God with all my heart.

5. I have hope —Jesus is coming again! Everyone who puts their trust in Jesus’s name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. There will be a new heaven and earth! No more death, crying, or pain. God will make all things new!

6. I can rest —Knowing truth + Believing God = Rest. God promises that I will lie down and sleep in peace.
