FEAR


Dear fear,

You used to have power over me. You were crippling to my mind and body. I felt the weight of you heavily on my shoulders. You made my life hell with the constant panic attacks you caused. Only by the grace of God did I overcome you. I fell to my knees night after night praying for freedom from you. I began to trust in God and to declare His freedom over my body. I became stronger than the bond you had over me. The chain you had wrapped around me for so long is gone. I am no longer a slave to fear.

-Your former victim, now a victor.
