the power of prayer

The thick black rope
of fear
strangles my heart
as it tightens its grip
I hold my breath,
but my heart
is pounding so loudly
that I can hear nothing else!!!!!

Then You come,
in the midst of my fear,
bringing to my remembrance,
that Your Word says
that You have not given me
a spirit of fear
but of love and of power and a sound mind.

As I proclaim
Your words
into the thick darkness that surrounds me
-the rope around my heart
snaps like a piece of thread!
