Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid for you are close beside me, your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. – Psalm 23:4 (NLT)
FEAR NOT
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you go through the darkest valley
Fear not for God will be with you totally
He is close beside you when you’re in pain
Believe and your hope will not be in vain.
When you feel overwhelmed with sorrow
Don’t worry for there is always a tomorrow
Fear not for he will protect and comfort you
He came to save you and get you through.

Are you struggling with something in your life? Are you feeling sad and burdened right now? Don’t be afraid. You are not alone. There may be others who are going through the same things you are experiencing, maybe worse than where you are right now. When you start to get overwhelmed, look around you or talk to someone and you will be surprised that you are probably much in a better place than someone else. Count your blessings instead of focusing on what you don’t have.
The bible tells us that even when we walk through the darkest valley, we shouldn’t be afraid for God will always be there to protect and comfort us.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to focus on your love, power and protection.
REFLECTION
How can you overcome fear when you are overwhelmed with life’s challenges?
