Fear

there are many things in this life
that brings fear to us

fear of the unknown
fear of what was expected to happen

fear of being alone
fear of being tied with someone

fear of being sick
fear of out-living loved-ones

but what does all this show us?
when we entrust ourselves with ourselves,
we can do nothing, we are nothing

and with this fear
we should replace this with faith
faith for what He can do for us
faith that He may not leave or forsake us

and this I pray,
"Lord, take all my fears away
leave in its place, a deep faith in You
a faith that may not waver
a divine fear that I may not wander
and Your light that may forever guide my path.
Amen."
