Fears, fears:
robs our soul
steals our sleep
heightens anxieties
keeps us isolated
takes our self-confidence
causes us depression
makes us jumpy
grounds our friendships
creates a skepticism
zaps our smiles
brings us sin
destroys our trust
hastens our rain checks
leaves us frowning
allows us tears
stops our laughter
interferes with daily duties
ruins our exhilaration
holds us hostage
snuffs out our hopes and dreams,
but
fear not for God is with us,
seek His word and dwell safely...
He silences the fear of evils,
shelters us under His almighty wing,
protects us as darkness comes
and storms beat around us...
He is God...
all things are possible through Him.
Fear can be our worst enemy, Barbara, but once we understand that the Lord is always with us and fear is unneeded, we can go on to lead healthy and happy lives. Regardless of how horrible life becomes, He always cares.
And let me add to that the verse from 2 Timothy 1:7 - "For God did not give us the spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind." Great job, Barbara. An important topic to address.
Wonderful realism and comfort in your lines here, Barbara. What consolation you bring to the very real spirit of fear that clogs our minds and spirits at times. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom"... and that "fear" is not of "being afraid", but KNOWING just who He is and what He can do for us... His love truly abounds if we can but reach for it. TY for this encouragement. Kate xx
