Why Fear?

I seem to be in constant battle with my deepest fears... however as I ran through my fears, I began to realize that with deeper faith I wouldn't have the fears... so i suppose my deepEST fear is that i may not have enough faith to triumph the fears!

"Scary! Mama! Scary!"
Jamilah squealed as I started to let go of her in the pool
I realized that I could relate...

Whenever I lose the slightest amount of faith
And the grasp of God's hands on my life loosens
"Scary!" I scream.

Or when the path ahead starts to thin
Or the footsteps to follow are not as clear
"Scary!" I scream.

When the thought of hatred or war passes by
And the thought of love and friendliness doesn't immediately conquer
"Scary!" I scream.

Or a realization of the injustices and the feeling of helplessness
Or a false sense of security in the culmination material assets
"Scary!" I scream.

Whenever the time flies by
And I forgot to stop and appreciate
"Scary!" I scream.

Or when I'm headed down the wrong path
Or the right path is in the wrong direction
"Scary!" I scream.

Whenever my life flashes by me
And I realize my role and responsibility
"Scary!" I scream.

This thought process must STOP
There's no reason to fear in this life
The purpose has been made clear
"I Bear Witness O My God, That Thou Hast Created Me To Know Thee and To Worship Thee...:
and in worshipping thee
thou hast granted thy heavenly bestowals
thou hast sent down divine confirmations
and provide me with inifinite faith

So I must have no fear
The road is clear
The path does veer
And the end is not near

This journey I must travel alone
Holding God's hand instead of a cell phone
Supported by prayers instead of credit or loan
A pure heart and a virtuous soul I must hone!
