Thank you, Father

Early this morning I had a frightening dream. When I awoke I was hyperventilating, and I was afraid of the very room I was in. It was totally dark in our bedroom, and because I couldn't see and the nature of the dream my mind started to make me afraid of the darkness. But I instantly began to pray, and the fear started to subside. And the Spirit of God helped me recall a song that lifted my spirit, too. I sang the song in my head, and afterwards I felt so much better!

Because of the encouragement I received from the song, I wanted to share the lyrics with you. ☺ It's a Patch the Pirate song, and I find that kind of funny because most of the songs that I treasure or hold dear are from Patch the Pirate. Ron and Shelly Hamilton have a wonderful God-given gift for encouragement and music.

How Can I Fear

When shadows fall and the night covers all,
There are things that my eyes cannot see.
I'll never fear, for the Savior is near;
My Lord abides with me.
How can I fear? Jesus is near.
He ever watches over me.
Worries all cease; He gives me peace.
How can I fear with Jesus?

Remembering that our Savior was there with me indeed did give me peace. Praise God!
