Fear’s an encompassing cloud Of fog that never lifts Whether alone or in a crowd Its vision blocker exists It’s often formed by those we love And try so hard to please Condemning us for everything Ignoring all our pleas We walk on eggs, afraid, unsure Of their reactions to come While striving for a future That’s best for everyone Efforts go unnoticed The dark cloud closes in Love and hatred twist Opening doors to sin Smothered and helplessly hopeless God hears each plea in prayer Whenever He’s asked to help us We find that He is there Reading His word on faith and fear We find they’re opposites Anywhere perfect faith is found Fear no longer exists Faith in our Creator The giver of all life Faith in Christ our Savior Ends our fear and strife Each has a measure of faith That strengthens when exercised But it’s a matter of where it’s placed In a human or God, all wise Family, pastors and doctors Are humans deserving respect Yet, no match for Christ occurs To save, comfort, guide and protect |

A lot of wisdom for living here in this poem. Fear's power is only as strong as we let it be. Reminds me of the verse.. "be strong and of good courage". |

"Smothered and helplessly hopeless God hears each plea in prayer Whenever He’s asked to help us We find that He is there" so many times I have cried out like this... and every single time He has been there... Thank yoou for sharing such a wondefully written poem... I enjoyed it very much and the ryhme and meter was very smooth. Isaiah 1:18 |

I enjoyed your poem so much! It was brought home to me this Thanksgiving, when an incident occured that was frightening and we, at our house, called on God and within a short time, He answered in a very positive way! Betty Lou Hebert |

Songbird- Glad you found some wisdom in this one. Thanks for the scripture reminder. Allstaria- You made my day! Thanks for your kind comments. Betty- Happy to learn God removed a recent fear in a positive way after you'd petitioned. Also, I'm honored that you, so poetically talented, enjoyed my write. Thank you. Rae |
