A young boy with autism has found power in Scripture for calming his fears over COVID-19.

Sheletta Brundidge posted a video to Twitter this week of her daughter and son.

She says her son Brandon "has crippling fear cause of his #autism."

The video shows Brandon repeating the words of 2 Timothy 1:7 after his sister.

For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (YLT)

Brundidge says her daughter learned the verse at their church, and decided to teach Brandon the verse to help calm him.

The mother encourages Christians to be cautious with the virus but to not be crippled by fear, either.

"Stop letting your fear of #Coronavirus be bigger than your faith in God. Plead The Blood, pray and wash your hands. Amen!"
