Fear and trembling overwhelm me, and I can’t stop shaking (Psalm 55:5; NLT).
Terrors overwhelm me; my dignity is driven away as by the wind, my safety vanishes like a cloud (Job 30:15; NIV).
My heart pounds and leaps from its place (Job 37:1; NIV).
Be brave and courageous (Psalm 27:14; NLT).
When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you (Psalm 56:3; NLT).
***********************************
Panic is what happens
When my fears are in control,
And they think that it will help
To run away;
But when I run, I take my panic
With me,
And escaping makes it stronger
Every day.
Better by far
To face my panic boldly,
Better by far
To put my trust in you;
Better by far
To wait for it to pass, Lord,
Then continue on my way,
As others do.
