There are fears – there is fear That darkens my dreams, erases my belief Fills me with dread, doubt, despair Fear this strong colors my whole world In a dusk that dims my warmest thoughts With a chill that feels like the winter snow There are fears that I face some days Fears of the silence, the solitude Will I be lonely? Will I feel the fading dismay Anxiety that reflects all the murky waters A hush that reminds me I have no place to go No one who really knows… my heart and soul But, He is there – amid the fear Brightening my thoughts, reassuring my heart Encouraging my faith and freeing me from dread He is always there – In the stillness, In the calm – where I sometimes find a prayer That needs to be spoken, breaking the quiet With sincerity – belief – a dream That He will answer my prayers with His mercy Comfort my worry with His grace There are fears that haunt all my best Give me chills of wintery doubt, Yet, He is there – a breath of inspiration Promising me love amid the dread Promising me hope to bring me out of doubt Promising me His gift of unending compassion Promising me a faith that will always believe He is the answer to every fear, each need He is the whisper of serenity and sincerity He is the reason I never have to feel uncertain He makes a way where no way has ever been He guides my steps when I feel so very unsteady And He is the One I will always praise… Thank God for His amazing ways! Isaiah 41:10 (KJV) Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
