100 Days to Brave for Kidsናሙና

What is Brave?

Being brave isn’t something that happens when you’re not scared anymore. I bet you have felt scared sometimes—me too! Whether it is a thunderstorm or a loud dog barking, or you want to try something new, and you’re worried you may fail, life can feel scary. And we want those scary things to go away, don’t we? Sometimes fear even whispers in your mind, telling you that you aren’t good enough or smart enough or strong enough to really be brave. We don’t stop hearing the whispers of fear—those usually stick around. But brave kids hear those whispers and take action anyway. Sometimes we have to do things even while we’re still a little afraid. Being brave is hearing that voice of fear in your head and saying, “Okay, but the truth is, God made me on purpose and for a purpose. So, I can do this. I have everything I need to be brave!”
