An ultra-wide cinematic banner depicting a lonely person lying awake in a dark, shadow-filled room, representing embedded nighttime fear and anxiety. They gaze up toward a gentle, warm beam of divine light piercing the darkness from above, symbolizing a heartfelt plea for God's peace, hope, and reassurance against the fear of the unknown.

I live in fear of the great unknown.
Fear that I will die here all alone.
Scared that i'll let everyone down.
Or in my inadequacy I will drown.

On the outside I appear levelheaded,
But inside of me lies fear embedded.
All these thoughts cloud my head,
As I lie awake at night in my bed.

God has not given the spirit of fear,
Why from that truth do I often veer?
Do I really trust Him like I should?
Doesn't He work everything for good?

Father, give me hope and take my fear,
Move it out of me and away from here.
Give me peace and help me to see,
Your awesome plan You have for me.
