Profess Courage

"Courage daughter!  Your faith has saved you!"  ~Matthew 9:22

"Do not panic, but look to Christ."  ~St. Francis de Sales

"Be not afraid."  ~Pope St. John Paul II

"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for You are with me."  ~Psalm 23

You are not powerless.

Fear is powerless.

Fear was crucified-

crowned and pierced

by the blackest of sins.

But our God rose above

the pounding of the heart

the sweating of the palms

and the terror of the imagination.

He faced fear head-on

and conquered it.

And now He holds your hand

and gently guides you

as you face your own fears.

What is there to fear?

Put your trust in Him, child of God.
Kick the shackles of fear aside
and profess courage.

Look deep inside and find

His strength thriving within your soul.

Believe in His love for you

and live.
