A Prayer for When You’re Afraid

Kayla Craig

Oct 24, 2022

We all have certain fears, whether we’re a grown-up or a child. The world gives us a lot to be afraid of: the thought of monsters under the bed or real-life terrors that keep us up at night. This week, we offer a simple breath prayer for when we’re scared or anxious, as well as a prayer for the God of peace to be near us when our fears take hold. May you and your children experience a renewed sense of comfort.
