I

Are you in Pain? Are you living in Fear? Are you anxious to the brink of feeling insane?

 It is normal... It is human to feel these things... But the question is, my friend --

  For how long will you live in fear? For how long shall you feel pain?

   Maybe it is high time that you lift your hands and just let your knees bend?

 

II

Life is uncertain, in these trying times where news of fear linger and spread,

 It seems that most people resort to actions they tend to regret out of fear;

  In times of darkness, let a spark of HOPE be the light to guide us in good stead,

   In moments of challenges and difficulties, let our FAITH be our beacon and our gear.

 

III

Let us cry out to the Lord and shout our heartaches and sadness,

 For in acceptance that we alone cannot carry all of these deadweight burden;

  Remember, that whenever we traverse the road of hardship and sickness,

   The footprints in the sand are Jesus' that marks for He carries us all who are broken.

 

IV

Whenever we pray that the Lord may grant us whatever it is we desire,

 Do we really think that it will be given just like that with a click of a finger?

  Rarely the Lord answers outright, He often gives us signs or else we need to enquire --

   Is this Your will O Lord? Or is it an opportunity for our faith to somehow linger.

 

V

Our faith is Bigger than our Fear, or so we want to believe,

 But when trials and troubles set in, is it really what we feel?

  Some believe we only live once, so we have to live it without making heave,

   Isn't it such a selfish point of view? Rather we must live our lives according to His will.

 

Vi

Fear is something that is tangible, it eats us up whenever things don't happen the way we expect them to be,

 What we really need are positive attributes that are intangible, like COURAGE and PATIENCE;

  When we pray for Patience, God does not give us patience right away; instead He gives us the opportunity to be patient, doesn't He?

   Similarly, when we pray for Courage, God does not snap His fingers and we instantly become brave, instead He gives us the opportunity to find courage within our conscience.

 

VII

When we pray for FEAR to go away, let us not expect that God will wipe all of our fears,

 The greatest fear is fear itself, we have to acknowledge it and put our trust in Him;

  The enemy is invisible yet not invincible, but God's infinite love and boundless mercy bares,

   Our sinfulness is what feeds our fear, may we find courage to admit them and patience to await His response without any useless whim.

 

VIII

The most important tool we could have is PRAYER, so let us --

 Indulge in prayer, and talk to God, let our FAITH be bigger than our fear we pray O Lord;

  Goodness always triumphs -- If You are with us Dear Jesus, then who could be against us;

   We offer You our weakness and sinfulness, we lift our troubled mind and damaged spirit Dear Lord.

IX

Amidst all of these, who is Jesus in our lives? Does He really matter to us? 

Do we believe He is our Messiah? The only one who gives eternal salvation?;

In times of dreadfulness and restlessness, our faith is something that can bind us,

Somehow God is writing straight in crooked lines, we need to believe He can straighten out our lives for this is His church's mission.

 

X

My faith is bigger than my fear, I can proudly say,

I have weathered every ordeal with calmness and acceptance;

Sickness and infirmity have no power over me; God is in control of my life I dare say,

My faith is bigger than my fear, my God is bigger than life’s entire disturbance.

 

AMEN.
