Don’t worry about your problems.
There are enough worries in a day.
Don’t worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow is not going away.

Do not be afraid of the dark,
But embrace it without fear.
It is when we are most afraid
That God is so very near.

When you go through the fire,
The flames will not consume you.
Trust in Him and hold on tight.
There is nothing left to do.

You have to exchange your thoughts
And all you think you know,
To trust what He is doing.
He knows what’s best for your soul.

So stop and give Him all your fear.
God always gives His best.
Make the Most High your place of shelter.
The Lord will do the rest.

When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume you. Isaiah 43:2
