chains of dread


weights of fear
chains of dread
disbelief, a lack of trust
freezing of confidence
sapping our strength
our courage, our witness
taking power from God

we may still be moving forward
maybe not fully immobilized
but doing so hesitantly
staying in our comfort
slowing our steps
carrying chains
we don’t need

Incapable of Action


utterly stuck, frozen,
incapable of action
gripped by our fears
twisted in chains
held by our demons
incapable of action
unable to move
failing to trust
to let go, to give them
to the One who can save us,
to release them to God

Psalm 23:4-6 King James Version (KJV)



Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
