"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matt 11:28-30 NIV
I read that this morning and felt it certainly applied here. Just simply tell him the truth. And validate that it is scary but God says 365 times throughout the Bible, "fear not." That's once for every day of the year, right?
What a great opportunity to share with him why we put our trust and faith in Jesus and not ourselves. Cause when we get scared, it sure does feel good to know that Jesus is right there with us. Be sure to pray with him too. And ask God for a scripture just for your son. I love Isaiah 54:17 KJV "no weapon formed against you shall prosper..." and have taught my boys that during those times we are afraid to stand firm and speak out loud this scripture to their fear.
He will be sore of course afterward, but kids bounce back so much faster than we adults do. I want to encourage you mom to stand strong in your faith in Jesus and to know that "greater is He that is in you than that which comes against you."
