Fear. I've know in it, felt it, it's been my friend from time to time. Like Over The Rhine remind us, "I'm gonna learn to love... without fear."
That's a hard step to take.
I am sure we've all been there before. Waiting. Wanting. Daring to believe, hoping, praying... and trying not to screw it all up. Fears hold us in check.
I don't want to be afraid. But how does one react when the stakes are raised? When things are settled, not chaotic, there is little to fear. Sure, there may be lost, but you understand, you are living in the moment. But now... when you don't know, there is fear.
And that's dangerous, because we might do something stupid. Say something stupid. Something you feel but can't put into words, or put into words the wrong way.
God, grant me strength to defeat fear, to embrace love, to forget about anxiety, to relinquish control.
Help me to learn to love without fear - to live without fear. If Teems is right, if love is everything, is God personified, then let us live that way, without fear.
