The Lord reigns over fear

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.
