Fear Just Deflates Our Tires

 

...for God gave us a spirit
               not of fear,
but of power and love
   and self control.

           2 Timothy 1.7

(God does not say
   there is nothing scary,
but "Do not fear.
             I am with you."
What if there was
  no reason to be afraid?
How differently
   would we approach it?
How differently
   would we trust Him in it?
Worry does not solve anything.
Fear just deflates
            all our tires.)

O LORD,
Run with us into this day.
Help us to see Your way
     through it
and come to know You more,
   right in the fray.
Fulfill Your purposes
and grant to us the courage
  that is rooted in You.
Bring Your glory
   into impossible places.
