Fearing Yourself


Only Fear Not Trying

I ask the Lord to turn my fears around,
For it really makes me feel so far down;
I'd rather have them as a positive force,
That will help me to remain on course;
If I fear not then I could not ever fail,
Making my success wanting to prevail;
I'd rather fear that I might never dare,
Discover my full potential somewhere;
Why should I fear that I may get hurt?
With God on my side to give me comfort;
Fear of never experiencing growing pains,
Instead of fearing government constrains;
Never fear that I might love and lose,
Rather fear of love that I never use;
Fear not of people laughing at my mistake,
Or fearing the risk of having to undertake;
Just fear "Oh you of little faith," from God,
Fear not of failing in being called a fraud;
Fear rather of missing another opportunity,
Then try again to increase my capability.
