Fear Not, My Child

My child, do not be discouraged
you have no need to fear
Just turn your eyes upon My Word
and feel My presence here ~
The comfort you are seeking
of the promises within
To give you strength to rise above
this confusion that you're in.

Do not be afraid, My child
just leave it in My hands
I know this turmoil that you feel,
believe Me, I understand ~
But take comfort in My words
that I will never let you go
For My love for you is so immense
more than you could ever know.

My child, I hear your desperate prayer
and your tears I cry
I shoulder the load that you bear
and for you My Son died ~
I didn't given you a spirit of fear
but one of a sound mind
And with My power and My love
a sense of peace you'll find.

Remember that where ever you go
I will always be with you
And when you walk in the shadow of death
I'll help you see it through ~
Fear not, for you will overcome
My child, you are mine
For I will not let you drown 
in the water of turbulent times.

My child, you are not alone
I can feel your pain
And I'll never leave or forsake you
I have called you mine by name ~
I guide you on the righteous path
and will always be with you
In times whenever you need Me
I will carry you through.

Fear not, my child, have faith in Me
to take away your pain
For I command this spirit of fear
to leave in My name!
I am the Lord, your shepherd
and I've restored your soul
In faith you are healed, child
for I have made you whole.

"The most amazing thing about God is that He always understands.   He knows what we go through every day in every way.  He feels our pain, our hurts and fear.   He cries our tears and He shoulders the burdens that we carry.  We come to God and cry out for his help, and He will always see us through.
This poem is actually a sequel to one I wrote about a friend the other day, called "A Fearful Mind Cries" ~ it is God's response to us when we call on Him.  Fear not, He is with us every day all the time, and He will never leave us, even when it seems like there is no hope or no way out of the mess we're in.  God will never leave us or forsake us.  And He always understands.  He already knows anyway, what we feel, but He is waiting for us to come to Him.  The key here is faith.   By faith, we are healed...."

This poem is based on the scriptures from Isaiah 43:1,2 and Psalm 23
and 2 Timothy 1:7.
