There I sat, on that swing, I kept my thoughts on Jesus, then the thoughts, the lie of fear snuck in between my talk with God. I feel the fear, I shiver and shake. I sink, with my eyes off Jesus. It said in the Bible that Peter sank in the waves when he took his eyes off Jesus and put his gaze on the storm. I fear of what's going to happen tomorrow. I slowly slip away from reality. Then, that ledge. The verse, "I can do all things through him who strengthens me." I say that verse, repeating it. I hold on to that one verse, and I say a prayer, "God, please help me do this, I've had enough of this, this pain and this fear. I need you. In Jesus's name, Amen." I feel the strong hand of Jesus hold me. I know I am safe. I relax and swing on that same swing, repeating verses, and singing praise to God.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14 (NIV)
