I’m nervous over an operation I have tomorrow
I’m nervous when you have operations


valleys of fear

fear
the Lord
so we won’t fear on Earth
and yet
we’re human
and we will

I think I’ve read that
fear is not of God
which
sounds ominous for all we have it
and
have it closely

well
we’re flawed
blame everything
and
yes
I think it all gets better when
we’re well
and
when we’re well for good

sigh
and I’ve done a little checking to distinguish
fear
the spirit of fear from Timothy
the fear not
given us
the fear that begins
wisdom from
Proverbs that is
the fear
of God

and I’ve thought the second fear
is awe
and should we ever meet
in the same room how
would we
fear the Lord
when
even angels address fear as in fear-not
severally when they appear

fear
don’t be afraid

keep the wonder
maybe
the truth closely of God
and
God with us

and
yeah
I’m still worried for tomorrow
and I worry over you

2 Timothy 1:7 = For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

Proverbs 9:10 = The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
