I Know Fear

I know fear. To deny it would be a lie and make me a liar. I know the fear of not knowing, like not knowing the distance my troubles were going to take me before I could escape. I know the fear of being forced to wait for the Deliverer while watching the enemy reinforce and fortify himself against me, taunting my faith. I know the fear of having no hope, except faith in the promises of a faithful God. Every time I have been at the end of my rope, I discovered my faith was all I needed. And He rescued me. To deny that I know fear would be a lie that will serve neither you nor me. But hear me when I say that Fear fears my faith in the great, faithful God within, Who always provides me a way of escape.
