There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
1 John 4:18 ESV
I bless us to gather around the Word of our God. I bless Jesus to lay our heart, our desire produce, bare. I bless the Word to uncover and leave no room. I bless Him to leave behind nothing lifted up, untouched and unattached to Him.
I bless our God to turn the darkness of our night into day, by the power of His Word. I bless us to run, hand in hand with Him, into the light of His Word. I bless our Messiah, Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ to be our portion and pure delight. I bless Him to turn our thoughts of fear and anxiety into affirmations and declarations of His perfect love for us.
Thick black clouds are gath’ring
Even so, I feel my feet
Treading here
Ever closer, ever brighter.
Hand in hand I’m running
His eyes are opening mine
Sunshine pouring
Light there pressing
The darkness away.
“Be not afraid,”
I hear His Voice
“I go before you
My Ray of Light the Truth.
“What they may say
What you may hear
What you may feel
Be still and know:
Beloved, You are Mine.
“Go where I send you
Speak what I give you
Still where I ask you
I am Your Light
Awakening freedom.
“Watch the darkness fleeing
Watch my children coming
Knees there bowing
My Name they’re calling.”
Thick black clouds are gath’ring
Even so, I feel my feet
Treading here
Ever closer, ever brighter.
Hand in hand I’m running
His eyes are opening mine
Sunshine pouring
Light there pressing
Darkness full away.
