The thunderbolt of fear,
frightens and horrifies
until panic sets in
and the soul it terrifies.
It moves ever quickly,
through our worried minds
then it settles in
when our weakness it finds.
Fears jolting boom,
is felt deep in the heart
then the resounding dread
in our soul beings to start.
It freezes and it seizes,
our feet to the floor
as soon as we hear
it’s rumbling, cracking roar.
But fear can be conquered,
when at first you hear it’s clap
if you take your worries . . .
and lay them in God’s lap!

Psalm 56:3
King James Version
“What time I am afraid,
I will trust in thee.”

Yes, when that thunderbolt first gives you that terrifying jolt it’s best to go to Jesus at it’s first strike and give your fears to Him. Amen and Amen~ ~ Blessings ~

I all too well know that thunderbolt as I am one of those fainthearted ones . . . where fear grips and twists and turns knots into my life. But, thank the Lord, He has given me His peace and has conquered my fears. ~ Amen and Amen and God Bless you ~
