2 Timothy 1:7 Worksheets for Kids

This verse is a favorite for helping anxious or fearful children — it names exactly what God gives instead of fear: power, love, and a sound, self-controlled mind.

The verse

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
— 2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV)

Big idea: God gives me power, love, and self-control instead of fear.

What's inside the pack

1. Memory verse page — the full text of 2 Timothy 1:7 in large print, with ruled lines for copying it out by hand.
2. Word search — a 12×12 grid hiding 7 words taken from the passage itself, running across, down, diagonally, forwards and backwards.
3. Fill in the blanks — the verse with 7 words removed, a word bank to choose from, and a drawing box for the big idea.
4. Teacher's page — what the verse means in kid-friendly language, 3 teaching ideas, a memory tip, and the full answer key.

How to use it

Print the pack single-sided on US Letter or A4 — the layout fits both. For younger children (ages 4–6), use page 1 as a tracing and colouring sheet and skip the word search. For ages 7–10, the word search and fill-in-the-blanks work as a complete 20-minute lesson. Older children can do the whole pack independently while you teach the passage.

Memory tip: Remember three gifts: power, love, self-control — not fear.
