A Life in Words

I will not be afraid. When the wind howls and the lighting crashes I will not be afraid. When the storms darken and the waves grow I will not be afraid. When the lights fade and the sun sets I will not be afraid. When hearts break and shadows creep I will not be afraid. When the dark screams and its blackness intensifies I will not be afraid. For my shelter protects me. I have peace because God is present in the storm. He claims it with a spoken word. Be still and know that he is God. Be strong and courageous for the Lord is with me. God is my strength and I am protected at all times, triumph or fear. No matter how dim the lights or how dark the nights. No matter how strong the storms or how high the waves I am protected. Be still and know that he is God does not ring out because you should know that is his name. That call does not merely say that we are safe. It means that our Father who can not be defeated is here. That we should not fear even in the most fearful of places because darkness cannot find him as he is our true light. I will shake... I will tremble... my voice will quiver but I will say He is God... He is my strength... And I am protected... And I am Loved...
