Fear

This fear thing,
       cripples my intentions,
       limits my possibilities,
       hinders me from experiences.

This fear thing,
       goes deep, 
       darkening my path,
       creating stress, worry.

This fear thing,
       has the word, "What If" attached to it,
       shuts the door to dreams,
       makes me who I don't want to be.

Fear makes me do things and say things I regret.

Fear is not my inheritance,
It is not in God's plan for me,
It is a trap, a snare, a scheme of my enemy.

My Father understands, and offers His divine help.
When I call... He comes...rescues me
Even from that enemy of fear.

"Fear not," He sings, "I am big enough, strong enough,
I am here to help, deliver."

As I listen...as I trust,
His words and truth renew my mind, transform my thinking.

Absence of fear is hope,
Absence of fear trusts and believes,
Absence of fear brings a song...creates peace.
Absence of fear is where I can prosper...where I can dream.
It is where His provision is,
It is where He wants me,
It is the place I can prosper and live in that abundant life that He so desires for me to have.
