Fear

Fear has paralyzed me;
it makes my heart turn cold.
Fear stops me;
from moving onward and seems to push me back!
Fear grabs me from behind and does not let go
so easily.
Fear puts doubt in my heart and mind;
making me make poor choices.
Fear makes me tumble and fall;
yet I keep on getting back on my feet.
Even though,  it might seem, that 
it keeps on paralyzing me and crushing me;
I am not going to give up;  Even if my faith falters
a bit, its not that I doubt God, its more that I keep
on relying on my own strengths which is not much.
I have come to the conclusion that fear is part of living and 
taking risks, so I have decided to do just that.
Except not on my own, but relying on God, to give me
what I need to get up from the floor and back on my feet,
as I continue to face trials ad tribulations as I continue to seek Him.
   Fear is real, and is part of everyone's life, but we cannot let fear paralyze us, or we will miss out on living.
