Be Brave

A new poem by Bruce Black.

I hear You say be brave as the day begins and an unknown path stretches ahead of me. Or maybe it's the voice of my father that I hear calling to me from the other side, from the olam habah, encouraging me to stand up to doubts and fears, to toss away timidity and rally around faith, to trust in You to lead me wherever I need to go. The words echo in my ears as I set off on an unknown path today, not knowing where the path will lead, praying it will bring me closer to You.
