Fear, a fundamental human emotion, has been part of my life’s journey at some stage. It’s a sensation we all encounter frequently. Whether it’s fear of the unknown, fear of failure, or fear of rejection, it can often hold us back from living our lives to the fullest. However, we have a powerful source of strength and courage to draw upon.

We can find strength, fortitude, and peace to overcome fear by anchoring ourselves in the truth of God’s Word. Psalm 27:1 reminds us, “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?”

In shadows deep, fear creeps into my soul,
My heart grows heavy, and I weep,
But lo, a light, a hope so near,
Guiding me through the dark.

For God has said,
“Fear not, for I am with you.”
With strength renewed, my fears I face,
In His embrace, I find courage.

Though fear may knock on my door,
It cannot hold me down,
I break through walls of fear,
And tremble no more.
