Devotional Poetry

Fear Versus Faith

Fear Versus Faith

I fear to try!
But not to try is death,
Death of my talents, hopes, and dreams.

So I will try!
In trying I will achieve
I will bring my goals to fruition.

I will try!
In trying I will conquer fear.
Fear which is death to all that I hold dear.

I will try faith!
Faith will make my dreams come true.
It is belief in things unseen and done.

What has trying taught me?
To hold faith not fear before me.
With faith I can conquer fear, death, and everything.

What have I found by trying?
I have found faith in god and in myself.
With faith and God's help I will achieve!
