4. Discussion
At Halloween, children often dress up in scary costumes
for fun. Sometimes we hide behind a corner and try to
scare a friend. We aren’t afraid when we know
something isn’t real. While we may not be afraid of the
child in the ghost costume knocking at the door and
saying “Trick or Treat” each of us do have real fears.

8. There are 365 “Fear Nots” in the Bible – one for
every day of the year. But how do we deal with the
reality of fear in our lives? The cure for our fears is
to walk closely with God, who is bigger and more
powerful than anything that might scare us.
