What is Fear


What is Fear?

By: Myka O’Neal

 

Is it the knowing that you cannot win,

Or is it that you never tried?

Is it unbelief or doubt?

 

Is it the one shot that you will never get again

Or the first impression that chose not to make?

Is it the choice you to leave well enough alone…

Or the belief that things will never get better?

 

God did not give us the spirit of fear,

So why doubt what we can do?

 

Fear,

Well, it is just an excuse…a reason

To stop, settle, give in to less than

What you are capable of.
