I Am With You: Do Not Be Afraid

I am with you so do not be afraid.

Heads bowed; standing together in prayer

Where two or more are gathered in my name, you say.

The writing is soft

And engraved with gentle strokes

The markings go on the door frame 

Protection for all that reside in this abode

With an eager heart 

With a deep longing for your presence

Hearts pounding

Stomach fluttering

Feet shaking; Knees weak 

The words slowly and softly escape the lips

In anticipation for your divine presence

The calm before the storm

With renewed confidence

The smile and eagerness resumed

In anticipation for your presence 

The faith is surmountable

The doubt coated in fear 

Is but only a mustard seed 

Seeking not to grow but only to be calmed

The seeds of faith take root in thy soul

Seeking to flourish and fester with your mist

A promise made yet to be fulfilled

To place the knees down on a kneeler

A kneeler yet to be obtained

For promises of yesterday

Today are yet to be fulfilled 

In your midst, I ramble in fear, solace I seek

Out of fear and in adoration 

I stand in awe with head bowed 

I dare not glance up, till thy promises be fulfilled 

The voices I hear only in silence

In thy soul, in thy mind, 

My wondering thoughts, you hush

Would you quiet thy mind so thy soul may be quieted 

Would you hush your fears and lean in thy promises 

Would you read my book and see thy promises to my children

Fear not, my child for my arms and my presence engulf thee

Do not be afraid as my words feed thy soul the food and bread of life

Fear not my child. I am with thee.
