With You around, I shall not fear.

 Amen. This is a powerful declaration of faith, not in our own courage, but in the presence and promise of God. It is a choice to stand on what is true rather than what is felt.

Here is a poem and affirmation of that fearless trust.

The Anthem of the Fearless

I shall not fear the terror of the night, Nor the arrow that flies by day in its flight. I shall not fear the pestilence in the gloom, Nor the destruction that would my faith consume.

I shall not fear.

This is no boast of my own might, But a stand in Your unending light. It is not that the threats are small or gone, But that I am held by the Great I AM.

So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” (Hebrews 13:6)

When anxiety rises and whispers lie, When the"what ifs" gather in a stormy sky, I will speak Your name,a mighty shield, And to Your perfect love,I will yield.

For fear has no place where Your love resides, It cowers and flees,in Your presence it hides. You have not given a spirit of fear, But of power,and love, and a mind that is clear.

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7)

I shall not fear the future's unknown way, For You are the God of today. I shall not fear the opinions of men, For my life is hidden in You,Amen.

I shall not fear the weakness I see, For Your strength is made perfect in me. I shall not fear the battle's loud roar, For the victory is Yours,forevermore.

So let this be my constant song, As through the valley I walk along: I shall not fear, for You are here. My Protector,my Savior, ever near.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
