Jesus Calms My Fears

📖 Bible Verse

“When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.”
— Psalm 56:3 

🕊️ Story / Reflection

Sometimes, fear comes quietly. Other times, it feels loud like thunder in our hearts. One might feel afraid of the dark, a bad dream, a test, or being alone.

The Bible tells us about a time when Jesus’ friends were very afraid. A big storm came while they were in a boat, and the waves were strong. But Jesus stood up and said, “Peace, be still.” The storm stopped, and everything became calm.

Just like He calmed the storm, Jesus calms our hearts when we are afraid. He is always with us, even when fear tries to make us feel alone.

💡 Lesson

Jesus is stronger than our fears.

When we feel afraid, Jesus is with us.
