No fear?
Words escape from a deceitful heart,
through dishonest lips,

I am repulsed at the thought of everyone seeing my despair,
My deepest worries plastered across my face,
like a billboard done for free,

My first prayer in the morning,
Dear Lord,
Do Not let me fear,
for I know I am being childish,
Your plan is my guide,
but my heart cannot comprehend,
I am not alright,
please stop my tears every night.

I meander through my day,
hopes of seclusion to hide my pain,
apprehension sets in as the world approaches,
I cannot hold tight to God's own promises.

This mortal life, prevents me from grasping reality.

I pray consistently for Your arms to hold me,
there only my Fears released.
