Yahweh I know you are near
Standing always at my side
You guard me from the fall
And you lead me in ways everlasting
Where shall I run from your love?
For you know where I sit and where I stand.
Protecting me from death
Keeping me from harm
God as protector is a powerful image that reminds me of how to live. The key for me is the absence of fear. I have been beholden to fear for a considerable part of my life. As someone who live with bipolar disorder, half of the disorder is anxiety, which is, fundamentally, fear. Only through reflection in the spirit have I learned to dispel fear from my life, to turn fear into faith.
"Fear is useless, what you need is faith."

When I flip my fear into faith I am more content and more calm. I can faith any hardship, any issue with peace. I can live, truly live as God intended me to live. What a blessing that is, indeed!
