Vanquishing Fear's Challenge

Lurking in my mind*, challenging its sanity Attacking it by skepticism's tenacity Toying with my intellectualism's vanity... Fear**, I vanquish you through God's certainty. *"Fear is a slinking cat I find beneath the lilacs of my mind." - Sophie Tunnell **2Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
