Your words are an encouragement, Lorrie! Fear is an enemy to stand up against.

Thanks, Robert. I think the rope of God's love is what keeps me from unraveling.

What a a great analogy! Sometimes it feels like we are the only one feeling fear and conflict so deeply. It's a good reminder that love can hold us together in those times.

Yes, God can open our minds to see another side of truth.

Lord, I ask you that you keep me from fear, and I think of your powerful words, "The Lord didn't give me a spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and a sound mind." 2 Tim. 1:7, well written, Andrea.

“The rope is love.” I think that phrase encapsulates your theme. We all face struggles, fears that threaten our wellbeing. But resting in hope and love gives us strength, resilience. Thanks for this wonderful prose, Andrea.
