No Fear

Dear Father-

You know that I am so tired and more than a little frightened. It is past 9:00 and I have so much to do still. I don't even have all of my day planned yet. I feel disorganized and like a failure. There is a cricket somewhere in my house that is driving me crazy and my cell phone is lost. I had several teachers "warn" me about my future students. I can feel the battle waging around me.

I don't feel victorious. I feel weak and ill-equipped. But you know, Father I am going to choose to trust you. I know that your will is far superior to my weakness. I know that you can use a broken vessel like me to bring about positive change. I know that you have already won the battle. I know that you have chosen me and will never ever abandon me. And so Father, I lift up my head and cry out, "I AM YOURS!" May your will be done. I submit myself to you. I shall not be afraid. I will NOT be afraid or shaken. I am like a tree planted by the water of Life. I will be strong and courageous, I will not be terrified, I will not be discouraged for you are with me wherever I go.

I love you so much,

B
