“We shall find peace. We shall hear angels.” – Mother Teresa
She softly lays her head down on the pillow as her eyes fall s hut.
Just as she’s about to fall asleep she hears “the voice” utter “But?”
The question rolls inside her head and the feelings of comfort and security are quickly replaced with uncertainty and dread.
“What will I do now for I’ve spent almost all I’ve ever earned?
Yet my wallet is still empty and I’ve got nothing to show for my talents in return.”
FEAR tells her to be worried and to doubt her own abilities
But what she doesn’t know yet is that FEAR fears itself and FAITH is FEAR’s worst enemy.
For FAITH is the only one able to silence the voice of FEAR.
FAITH is the voice that need not speak a syllable
But FAITH’s voice will be the only one you’ll hear.
Your son was in a terrible accident!” the doctor quietly cried.
“He is in very critical condition; we’re just trying to keep his wounded heart alive.”
The man grips his phone tightly as his heart rapidly picks up its pace
You could see that FEAR had taken over; it was written in the grimace that appeared upon his face.
No promises were made, no assurances that he would make it through.
That was all FEAR needed it was at this moment that FEAR knew just what to do.
The man bowed his head as tears rapidly spilled from his saddened eyes.
FEAR told him his son wasn’t going to live, but FAITH stepped in and made him realize.
Now’s the time to trust in Him, for He’ll know what to do
Cast all your worries aside for FAITH will see you through.
When you feel robbed of your heart’s possessions; love and life taken from you at a deadly cost
FAITH is the only map that will guide you home; no longer are you lost.
As the last drops hit his lips, the bottle lies empty on the floor
He drinks in fear that this is all there is, that this life could not entail anything worth living for.
Every day his thoughts are invaded by FEAR’s invasive and reckless course
He turns to the poison in the bottle and slowly tries to drink away his remorse.
FEAR makes him feel guilty, unworthy and alone
It’s FAITH that comes to his rescue and chills this young man to the bone.
“Throw down the bottle and leave this all behind,” FAITH softly pleads.
FAITH has joined his hand with His and brought him to his knees.
And as his knees surrender, his hands come together in clasp too
He realizes that FAITH has brought him to his Father
And that his Father will see him through.
There may come times when it may seem that your Father cannot be found
At those moments in life turn to FAITH and you will suddenly understand that He is always around.
So the next time FEAR comes and knocks upon your door
Let FAITH answer to tell FEAR that it’s not welcome here anymore.
“Faith believes in spite of the circumstances and acts in spite of the consequences.” – Adrian Rogers
“Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, ‘Here I am…’”—Isiah 58:9
“It’s not the absence of storms that sets us apart. It’s who we discover in the storm.”—Max Lucado
