Where Fear Flees

Where Fear Flees

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

Where Fear Flees

A force that strikes,

Leaving you numb and insecure.

Its been said

That it’s something you must endure.

 

Hitting you in the worst of times,

It tends to take control.

Finding yourself “playing it safe”,

Where fear finds you, taking a toll.

 

It robs you of much,

Sending your thoughts into a tailspin.

It lies, telling you that you don’t have what it takes

To see things to the end.

 

An ugly monster

To be stopped in its tracks

With the mighty torch called Faith,

Where fear flees, turning back.

 

For love casts out fear,

Believing in the power of God’s grace.

Driving out negative thoughts,

Faith enters its stay.

 

In comes the Holy Spirit,

Whose presence is graciously released…

Transforming hearts into a place where faith abounds

and where fear flees.

I agree dear Melinda.
"For love casts out fear,

Need to cleanse the evil and welcome the good. Thank you for sharing the amazing and wonderful poetry.
