Fear
by Barbara Philbrook

Fear is a roadblock on the way to success,
it delays our work and hinders our happiness.

Fear is an instrument used by the enemy,
to detain the progress expected of you and me.

Fear need not be given into by us my friend,
because Jesus has already won before the end.

God did not give us a spirit of fear,
but power love and a sound mind assuring He is near.

Fear would sap the strength we possess,
if we were to give in to it in hopelessness.

By the gift of sound mind, love and power,
will see us through even in life's darkest hour.

Fear not for no one can separate us from God's great love,
neither here on earth nor in Heaven above.

Fear not my dearly beloved friend,
we shall be together with the Father when this life reaches it's end.
