What To Do With Fear

It comes for us all, sometime.

We look then suddenly we get that feeling.

The heart beats hard and fast, the hands begin to shake.

The brow is drenched with sweat, the eyes refuse to focus,

While the cold, icy fingers of fear paralyzes the mind.

The fear of everything new and everything old.

There is loneliness, financial hardship, homelessness, unemployment, pain, suffering and finally death.

Fear has a myriad of faces and many companions to support, nurture, and keep it alive until the bitter end.

Best not to give in.

Easy to say.

Best to turn away without giving credence.

Not so easy to do.

Look up to the light, never to look away.

Remember His words of comfort, and believe what He says,

Because He said it and God is not a man that He should lie.

Numbers 23 verse 19

“Fear not for I am with you. Be not dismayed for I am your God. You shall not be afraid for the terror by night nor for the arrow that flies by day. Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.  A thousand shall fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come nigh you.” Psalm 91 verses 5 to 7
