From Fear to Courage
Drowning in
fear, coming up for air, dismayed, we
veer.
Weakened by circumstances beyond
control, we fear.
Afraid to step into the unknown, we
stand paralyzed.
To be
rid of fear that disables, we turn to
Him above.
With
words of encouragement, He stands by in
love.
No longer
willing to tolerate indifference, we
pray.
Bound
in worry and doubt, we seek release to
slay.
Loss
of ambition and initiative, we cry for
help.
Captivated by what strangles, we seek to
be free.
Renouncing fear and unbelief, we press
to believe.
Self-absorption destroyed, we nurture
Courage.
In
Him who gives hope, we commit
wholeheartedly.
Believing His word delivers, we embrace
mightily.
Inspired by words of encouragement, we
stand ready.
Breathing deeply, He inspires courage
that strengthens.
Transformed
in our thoughts, we pursue with
boldness.
Transformation taking hold, courage
revives vigorously.
Filled with the Spirit; vision with
purpose executes.
Bold
as a lion, fear left behind, we break
the chains.
In
His sufficiency, we press courageously
to gain.
Have I
not commanded you? Be strong and of
good courage;
do not
be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the
Lord your God
is with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9
