Mother wrote this poem just after her diagnosis of cancer.

WHY ARE YOU FEARFUL? ©
by Annette Trent

"Why are you fearful, oh child of Mine?
Am I not faithful to you? Have I not given you peace in the storm?
And rest in whatever you do?
Have I not given My Presence and power?
And strength for your tasks everyday?
Do I not give you the needs of your heart?
And do I not show you My way?

Fear not, little flock, your Father is here;
I’ll give you the strength that you need.
I’ll walk with you, talk with you, be by your side.
I’ll never forsake you, why fear?
It’s My pleasure to give the desires of your heart;
Delight in My Presence each day.
Just trust Me, believe Me and rest in My arms;
I’ll carry you through all the way!"
