Don't Lose Your Song by Carol McLeod
The prophet Habakkuk lived during a season of moral decline, political unrest, and spiritual confusion. As he looked around at the culture in which he lived, his heart was deeply troubled.

Fear Is Faith in Reverse by Charles Capps
Faith is the substance of things desired. There is power in faith, in believing. Jesus told the centurion, "Go, as you have believed it will be done for you.

It is a feeling of being weighed down by things you never intended to carry, leaving you stuck in a cycle of stress that you cannot seem to shake on your own.
