I am a worrier by nature. I always have been, even as a child. Worry has been the thorn in my side my entire life. The past few years have given me a lot of reason to worry. It has taken every ounce of PRAYER and WILL not to be paralyzed by that worry. I may have shared this before, but I have a witching hour. It is typically around 2 or 3 am. I wake up and my mind fills with worry. I have memorized the 23rd Psalm, as it seems to be the one thing that calms my soul. Some mornings, it is so intense that I cannot seem to shake it and just determine that getting out of bed at that crazy hour is the best thing to do.
Another thing about me, I love music. I am not necessarily musical (after all I played the 'drums' in school), but I love music. So when I heard this song the other day, it completely resonated with me. To be truthful, it was very emotional to listen to the words. It felt like someone understood exactly the battle within me.
The Afters - I Will Fear No More
It's a heavy weight upon my chest
As I lie awake and wonder what the future will hold
Help me to remember that You're in control
You're my strength 'cause I'm not strong enough to win this fight
You are greater than the battle raging in my mind
I will trust You, Lord
I will fear no more
I will lift my cares
Lay them in Your hands
I'll leave them there
When the wind and waves are coming
You shelter me
Even though I'm in the storm, the storm is not in me
You're my strength 'cause I'm not strong enough to win this fight
You are greater than the battle raging in my mind
I will trust You, Lord
I will fear no more
(Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh) I will fear no more
(Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh) I will fear no more
