Fear overwhelms us
Takes control
Drags us along the crooked and perverse
passages
over rocks
pebbles
we stumble upon
missing,
and falling
deep
withdrawing
into cocoons
the unknown
scares us
We want to know
what will be tomorrow
today
yet we do not
God knows
All
In knowing
for ourselves
all He knows
wouldn't greater fear
protrude its
ugly head?
Is it not safer
Are we not more secure
alas, even more confident
if / when
fear envelopes us
we look upward
to Him
Him
The Lord Jesus Christ
The Lord of all
of life
of death
of fear
of courage
of strength
of love
Look upward!
and pray
share your concerns, your worry, your fears
with The One
who does understand
Seek the meaning of His Word for you
Believe in His promises
of hope and a better tomorrow
Believe in Him
In His Love for you.
He has conquered fear
and death
He is The Overcomer
Fear does not belong
here
For if / since
we are one
with Him
through Faith
we have His peace
His peace
His love
Peace.
Whatever comes
God knows all
and we are surrounded
by His presence,
His love
and that is enough.
We face an unknown
our fear escalates
But the fear within us
will dissipate, yield and fade
Freedom reigns
through faith
in the strong and living Savior
The Lord Jesus Christ.
(See Matthew 8:23-27)
