Why do we freeze
ourselves, our lives
why do we live lives of caution,
of hesitation, not grabbing hold of life,
why do we hold onto fear?
Fear is so
self-defeating, a prison,
a dark cloud over our living, our future,
why do we listen to the words of the enemy,
that we are unworthy, we are not good enough?
Why do we live
truncated lives,
forestalling our joy, our true living,
we must remember, we must believe,
God’s promise to always be with us…
We are given
life, a life of abundance,
but we hold onto fear, our millstone,
sapping our joy, our true living,
oh why do we hold onto fear?

Why do we hold onto fear
Based on #Joshua1:9
Based #Isaiah41:10
“So do not fear, do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not be dismayed,
for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
