When I feel alone
in a room crowded with people
When I feel panic
swelling in my gut
When I feel worry
creeping into my brain
When I feel uneasy in any way
I know the darkness of fear
is trying to get in
I know the dark one
is trying to break me down
But I am a child of light
I am loved
I am never alone
My life mapped
My purpose designed
And like a child
into a swimming pool
I must jump
with all my being
with childlike trust
and splash and play
in waters of uncertainty
without the flotation devices
of knowledge and control
yet faith and hope
keep me afloat
So when I feel fear, panic or worry
When I feel uncertain or out of control
It’s time to let go
to live in faith
to jump in the pool
to float in trust
surrounded by love

This is beautiful and hopeful! I love it! Thanks for sharing. It reminded me of the Bible verse from Ephesians, “For you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord! Walk as children of the light.” God’s with you!

Love this! I thought about this kind of faith last night as I walked the dog. We’re coming up on another period of uncertainty. A year or two ago, I’d have been beside myself with anxiety; now, with the light of recent experience, I am surrendering to faith that the end result will be OK even if some of the steps between are a little wobbly. 🙂

Thanks, Deb! It’s so amazingly freeing when we are able to accept that there will be wobbly steps, and I think easier to recover from them! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. ❤
