A Prayer Song Against Fear

When I walk in the light of Your love fears flee.

When I walk in faith in You fear has no hold on me.

Help me to keep my eyes on You.

Help me to obey all You tell me to do.

I know I am safe when I am walking in You.

Thank You Jesus I love You.

When I am in the center of Your will all my fears are stilled.

I have power when with Your Spirit I am filled.

Keep me close, closer to You.

Keep me trusting, faithful and true.

Keep me obedient to all You tell me to do.

Then I need not be afraid.

Then I can not be dismayed.

Then may Your glory and might be displayed.

As in You my heart is stayed. Amen

Never Fear?

Never fear under dog is here. As a child I watched a cartoon show called, "Under dog." It was kind of a superman type thing only it was a clumsy dog who saved the day. Now that I am grown up I know who really saved me and keeps me daily, it's Jesus. But I have also learned a lot about fear. There is one kind of fear that is healthy. That kind of fear is the instinct and wisdom kind that God gives me, to keep me from walking out into traffic or off a cliff. It is the kind of  fear that gives me a healthy respect for things that could harm or kill us. It is that kind of fear I have towards God. It is wrong for me to fear the unknown. Like today I woke up and the news still hasn't said who will be president. I must have faith in God's sovereignty  no matter who becomes president. I must trust God to work it out for my good. I must believe that God will answer my prayers according to what He deems best, not according to what I think is best. No matter what happens around me I must still walk and live according to God's will. When I am walking in the will of God and trusting in Him; I should be walking in peace not fear. I shouldn't fear every over whelming problem that faces me. I should instead pray and trust God. I shouldn't fear death either. For I know where I am going. I use to think I was afraid of death but now I realize that it is my flesh that has the problem. That strong instinct that God gave me to survive is always going to make me not look forward to the final pain of death. But my spirit on the other hand cant wait to go be with Jesus. So as there is no fear of death just dread of  pain. This is an area of life that I am trying to get at the truth in. I am seeking God about the truth about fear; because I believe the world, my mind, flesh, and the devil tries to trick me into being fearful when I shouldn't be. I believe by getting at the truth about fear I will strengthen my faith. I believe that as God reveals the truth about when fear is right and wrong not only will my faith grow; but I will grow and change as well. Even my relationship with Him will grow stronger. Maybe I will become even more useful because of it.

That you may fear the Lord your God, to keep all His statues and His commandments which I command you, you and your sons and your grandsons, all the days of your life, that your days may be prolonged. Deuteronomy 6:2, The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous all together. Psalm 19:9, Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff they comfort me. Psalm 23:4, The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1, The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe. Proverbs 29:25, And do not fear those who kill the body but can not kill the soul. But rather fear Him (God) who is able to destroy both the soul and the body in hell. Matthew 10:28,For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2Timothy 1:7, There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18
