Are you Afraid of the Dark?

 "I am with you always."

Matthew 28: 20

     Today, while I was checking out some old photos of my third grade homeschool projects, I came across this picture of one of my Bible verse cursive writing activities. Upon reading the verse, a childhood memory flashed into my mind.
      I remember when I was a small child. I was always afraid to be left alone in the darkness. I would always think that someone or something might hurt or get me. One time, as me and my brother was preparing to go to sleep. I was checking out something in our living room. Until, I heard a slam of the door! My brother locked me out of our bedroom! I was alone in the darkness and feeling very scared. My mom, upon hearing the banging of the door, she opened it and let me in. After having settled my emotions, my mom reminded me that God was there for me and there's nothing to be scared of. 
     This bible verse from Matthew 28:20 is a confirmation that God is with us and that he will never leave us. Today, I am not scared to go into the darkness even if I'm alone because of God's help. I hope you can be like me and soon face your fears with the help of God! 


Prayer
Lord,
      Let me not be scared anymore knowing You are with me Lord. Help me to be brave enough to confront the fears that frightens me most. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
