Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows.
But take heart, because I have overcome the world.
(John 16:33; NLT).
1. The more I avoid
The things I fear,
The worse my fears will grow:
Please help me, Lord,
To face my fears
As you did, long ago.
2. The more I confront
Whatever I fear,
The stronger I’ll become:
Please help me, Lord,
To face my fears
Each day, till life is done.
3. The sooner I begin
This task,
The faster I’ll be healed:
Please help me, Lord,
To face my fears,
Be brave, and never yield.
4. The more I make these truths
My guide,
The better I’ll succeed:
Please help me, Lord,
To face my fears –
Then I’ll be free indeed.

I have come that they may have life,
and have it to the full.
(John 10:10; NIV).
