Fearless Living

Dear God,
My props are out from under me today,
Maybe they were the wrong kind of props.
Fear is creeping through the cracks
Like little insects of prey.
My aloneness gathers around my shoulders,
I long for the feel of loving arms instead.
But thank you, God,
For the real knowing that under all of these feelings
Your everlasting arms are around me.
Help me now to lean back and feel that security.
I push and pull and struggle
To live life as I think I should.
But maybe I strive for vain expectations
In ways I am not full aware.
Calm and quiet my soul that there may be no
Inward fight between my ambitions and my limitations.
But, O God, don’t ever let self-concern
For these physical disturbances take over
And become so important that I lose sight of you
And my own contribution of life as you meant it to be.
Thank you for not giving your children
The spirit of fear, but of power
And of love, and of a sound mind.
With power, love, and a sound mind
Help me to be free from fear.
I can move forward with joy
Even through the dark moments that come.
Thank you, God.
