~ When fear steps in - remember ~

Anxious breathing envelops.
Heart veins rush -
racing triple time as
fear
settles in.

The ugly power of it all
slithers its way in,
taking control.

Do we forget "where" fear
comes from?

After all, we are only human - yes?
So easily entrapped in
blinded vice -
no escape.

Why is fear easier to let in,
rather than faith and trust?

Within the mess and chaos of
life - fear grips fast -
IF chosen ... allowed ... breathed into
fragile existence.

When fear steps in
remember ...

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;

but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind"
-2 Timothy 1:7

And if we remember "where" this
power, love and sound mind
is coming from ...

fear no longer has power over us.

Remember to remember.
