We Are Stronger

Wonder how things will go
in these times of trouble
some fail to express feelings
pretending all is well
others fall to pieces
letting anxiety show
adjusting and facing fears
for fears can be conquered
we are stronger than we know
we are stronger than our fear
we are stronger than this 
in these troubled times.

Phyl my friend. It is so good to hear from you again. I agree Phyl that we are stronger than we realize we are. It is in times like this that we come to know how strong is our faith in God and in ourselves. The Bible tells us that He will not put more before us than we can stand together with Him as our strength and our shield. Great stuff. God Bless, JB

A good inspirational one, Phyllis. I sure feel bad for those who are falling apart at this time. I can't imagine how they must feel: those with no homes or incomes. Oh my.

Hello Phyllis … most of the fear appears to be created by the inundation of news broadcasts on television. Our leaders have made one clear statement 'stay home' but there are still quite a few defying and this puts many more at risk. A great message in your verse Phyllis - Lindsay
