Dear God,

Why is it, fear has a straight way to our soul?  Why does it so easily grab hold, unnerving and unsettling us?  It feels as if little devils are nipping at our ankles.

 

I am ashamed when I cannot fend off fears.  I know some fear is reasonable; however, I know faith is the answer to fear. 

 

Every time I fly, fear comes knocking at my door.  I feel those flutters in my stomach.  This time is no different.  A nearly six hour flight reminds me I am totally at your mercy.  I call out to you and as always, you answer.  I find myself repeating over and over again, “May my fear meet you at the door of faith!  May my fear meet you at the door of faith!  May my fear meet you at the door of faith!”  I am humbled when you let me in to your heart easing my pain and relieving my fear.  Who but you, O Lord, would do this?

 

Holy God,

Lover of souls,

thank you

for your compassion.

Thank you

for your love.

Thank you

for faith

that endures

to break

the bonds

of fear.

 

Love, Andrea
