#15: Proverbs 12:25 - Trust In Jesus

Story summary

In this Bible lesson, Greybobby and Betty help Brushy overcome her fear of swimming, learning from Proverbs that anxiety weighs down hearts, but Jesus’ encouraging words lifts it up.

Proverbs 12:25

Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down,
but a good word makes him glad.

What did We Learn?

  • Our fears and anxieties weigh us down.
  • When we think about them all the time, they just make us feel overwhelmed and pull us under.
  • When we cast our anxieties and fears on Jesus, and keep our focus on Him, He speaks good words to our heart so we put our trust and Him and our fears start to fade.

Let's Pray

Dear Lord,
Help us to not get stuck in our fears.
Instead, help us to cast our anxieties and fears on you so you can help us not be weighed down by our fears.
In Jesus’ Name we pray.
Amen.
