Afraid Of The Dark ~
When I was young girl.
of the darkness I was afraid
my bed became for me
from danger a barricade.
I would pull the covers,
up over my head . . .
tremble beneath them
with fear and dread.
I imagined a boogie man,
was coming after me
though my own eyes
never once did it see.
My father would come,
quietly into my room . . .
to calm the anxiety
that over me loomed.
His words of assurance,
there is nothing to fear
reverberated right into
my frightened young ear.
Now that I am much older,
by man’s evilness I’m dismayed
but, now it’s God my Father . . .
telling me not to be afraid!
~~~~~~~~
Being filled with all
unrighteousness, fornication,
wickedness, covetousness,
maliciousness; full of envy,
murder, debate, deceit,
malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God,
despiteful, proud, boasters,
inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents,
Without understanding,
covenantbreakers, without
natural affection, implacable,
unmerciful:
Have not I commanded thee?
Be strong and of a good courage;
be not afraid, neither be thou
dismayed: for the Lord thy God
is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

God, My Strength ~
God, my Strength,
my Power, my Might
You make me fit . . .
for the battles I fight.
Through all the storms,
that have come my way
You give me the courage
to face them each day.
God, my Muscle,
my Vitality, my Vigor
You inspire me to be
for You a crown winner.
When spiritual battles,
I have to daily face
You give me resilience
to run the faithful race.
God, my Strength,
my Rock, my Song
thought I am weak . . .
You make me strong!
~~~~~~~~~~
Have not I commanded thee?
Be strong and of a good courage;
be not afraid, neither be thou
dismayed: for the Lord thy God
is with thee whithersoever
thou goest.
And he said unto me,
My grace is sufficient for thee:
for my strength is made perfect
in weakness. Most gladly therefore
will I rather glory in my infirmities,
that the power of Christ
may rest upon me.

God, My Courage~
God, my Courage,
my Bravery, my Grit
Your love compels me
not to give up or quit.
You give me fortitude,
to fight the good fight
all my battles fought
are won in Your might.
God, my Courage,
my Boldness, my Mettle
You turn my nerves
into hard, steely metal.
Your Word is my Armor,
faith is my shield
taking me each day
out into the battle field.
God my Courage,
my Fortress, my Stockade
as long as You go with me . . .
I’m not afraid or dismayed!

Lord, Give My Faith A Backbone ~
Lord, give my faith a backbone,
robust, sturdy and strong
give my spirit the braveness
to last my whole life long.
Lord, help me not to be,
cowardly and spineless
so for You I can be . . .
courageous and fearless.
Lord, give my trust a framework,
rugged, durable and resilient
give my spirit the boldness
to go for You the distant.
Lord, help me not to be,
fainthearted and gutless
so for You I can be . . .
a light for Your justness.
Lord, give me a backbone,
make my faith seamless
so that my trust in You
can remain effortless!

This Too Shall End ~
This too I know,
will soon be gone
so to my faith
I will hold on.
I will stay strong,
I won’t be weak
for God’s grace
I’ll hourly seek.
His grace helps me,
to stick things out
for it calms my fears
dispels my doubt.
It buoys my trust,
dispels my nerves
it shows me worrying
does not, Him serve.
This too I know,
shall soon end and pass
until it does . . .
I’ll not let fear trespass!

Be Not Dismayed ~
Wherever you go,
God is with you
whatever you do
He is there too.
You can’t see Him,
but He sees you
He knows the way
for you to pursue.
Whatever you fear,
God will ease it
whatever you dread
God will conquer it.
He’ll impart strength,
when you are weak
He’ll pass on courage
when you are meek.
So, be not fearful,
neither be afraid
with God we need not . . .
ever be dismayed!

Be Not Afraid ~
When in the wilderness,
be brave and be daring
no matter the burden
or load you’re carrying.
For, God is with you,
wherever you go
He promises always
the right way to show.
He will be the cloud,
to follow in the day
His very presence
will lead you the way.
He will be your pillar,
in the dead of night
He will shine on you
His true guiding light.
When in the wilderness,
don’t you be dismayed . . .
God is always with you
so be not, ever afraid!

My Resolution Solution ~
Lord, I’m going to navigate,
through another year
and I am going to need You . . .
to stay close and near.
I am going to chart,
a new course for every day
and I am going to need You . . .
to shed light on my way.
I am going to steer,
the obstacles that I am able
and I am going to need You . . .
to keep my faith stable.
I am going to weather,
all the storms out at sea
and I am going to need You . . .
to keep Your eyes on me.
Lord, I am going to make,
a new resolution for the year
and I’m counting on You . . .
to give me faith over fear!

The Reason for My Hope
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter 3:15
King James Version"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to

I will not be shaken,
nothing can rattle me
not even my own death
will take me, Lord from Thee.I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
the love I have for Jesus
from His ways I'll not stray.I will not be shaken,
nothing will take from me
the peace, faith and hope
I have dear Lord, in Thee!~~~~~~~

from him cometh my salvation.

he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
