Do Not Fear

I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:9-10

alone in the shadows,

lost with no way home,

frightened and confused,

heading for destinations unknown;

do not worry,

do not fear,

God is near;

in the darkness,

in the light,

within the sorrow,

within the joy,

through the suffering,

through the pain,

through times both good

and bad;

do not worry,

do not fear,

God is near;

all things pass,

all things fade,

but His mercy endures forever,

His love knows no bounds,

so rest your tired head,

my troubled and

frightened child;

do not worry,

do not fear,

God is near.
