The world screams at us, "Be afraid!"
Men of Rohan,
tossed with tempest,
fear is the mindkiller,
give it no quarter.
Fear is a force of evil.
It paralyzes.
It is crazy-making.
It stymies. It controls.
Throw it off.
Listen instead to the Lord,
His sweet words of kindness,
His hope, His peace.
We were not made for fear,
you and I,
but life abundant.
Yes! We were not made for fear.

Sandi, this is so rightly said
ReplyDeleteYou know I know God takes care of our fears - but sometimes I am human too - but I try not to be.
ReplyDeleteJesus had to tell his disciples fear not so many times, and He was right there with them. We certainly were not meant for fear, but to glorify the Holy One and enjoy Him forever. Linda T
ReplyDeleteAmen! So true!!
ReplyDeleteSo true! And also hard, hard to control our emotions.
ReplyDeleteFear is one of the worst emotions to throw off. We just need to remember where our strength and protection truly lie.
ReplyDeleteWe are having a series in our adult Sunday School class on the Fear of Man. This ties in ...
ReplyDeleteFear can be overpowering can't it?
ReplyDeleteHi Sandi, yes, as Joel Osteen says. 'Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real.
ReplyDeleteAmen.

ReplyDeleteИдеальный стих. Спасибо, Светлана!
DeleteFear is an intense emotion, and it comes in many forms. It's interesting how many appeal to God when fear strikes, even if they're not religious.
ReplyDeleteOur hearts know to cry out to God.
