Fear Busters (Week 6)Sample

Day Six - I Know the Voice of my Shepherd

Hello mini FearBusters! We hope you're enjoying following our journey with the FearBusters! Remember you can watch this week's episode on YouTube!  We are on such an exciting journey with the Fear Busters so far and we have learnt so much! 

We are looking at Psalm 23 - learning that God is our Shepherd; we are His sheep. God looks after us and takes good care of us!  Today we are learning that I know the voice of my Shepherd. 

READ: 

Our Bible story of the week is The Lord is my Shepherd. You can read this story in the Beginners Bible (pages 190-193) or in Psalm 23. 

Did you know that a Shepherd will often talk to the sheep? He tells them which way to go, when it’s time to feed; He reassures them when they are sick and calms them if they are scared. 

Wait a minute… isn’t that what God does with us?  God is our good Shepherd and so He wants to talk to us! 

Did you know that God loves to speak to you? 

There are many different ways that God will speak to us. Shall we have a look at just a few?  

• Sometimes He might speak to you while you pray, read your Bible, or worship.
• He might show you beautiful pictures in your head.
• God may get someone you know to say something lovely and encouraging about how much He loves you.

Just like a good shepherd speaks to his sheep, God speaks to us!

ASK: 

There are so many ways that God will speak to us - spend some time today doing what you love, or what you do to worship God.   Pray and ask God to speak to you and see what He says. 

Can you draw a picture, or tell us a story of how God spoke to you? Be sure to ask your grown up to share it with us on Instagram or Facebook.

REMEMBER: 

The Lord is my shepherd. I have everything I need. He gives me rest in green pastures. He leads me to calm water. He gives me new strength. For the good of his name, he leads me on paths that are right. Even if I walk through a very dark valley, I will not be afraid because you are with me. Your rod and your shepherd’s staff comfort me. You prepare a meal for me in front of my enemies. You pour oil of blessing on my head. You give me more than I can hold. Surely your goodness and love will be with me all my life. And I will live in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalm 23)

Have you got any actions to help you remember this memory verse? We would love to see them! Maybe ask your grown up to post a video of you reciting your memory verse.

SAY - FEARBUSTER PRAYER:

You are bigger than my fears. You wipe away my tears. I have a voice to pray, you teach me what to say. I am brave because of you! This sickness just won't do, we tell it now to QUIT. We've had enough of it!
