We do not let go of our worries,
our struggles, our fears,
We fail to lay them down,
to give them over to God,
We do not trust, we believe of fears.
Fear is a liar, immobilizing, defeating us,
We cannot be who we are meant to be
if we listen to Fear’s siren song,
if we give our lives over
to the power of Fear’s lies.

“Of all the liars in the world, sometimes the worst are our own fears.”
— Rudyard Kipling
“There is nothing to fear but fear itself because
it can and will immobilize us and cause us to not
follow our life's purpose...our calling that we were born for.”

our struggles, our fears,
We fail to lay them down,
to give them over to God,
We do not trust, we believe of fears.
We cannot be who we are meant to be
if we listen to Fear’s siren song,
if we give our lives over
to the power of Fear’s lies.
