The Psychic Flower: From dark premonitions to conscious sensitivity

Aspen

Fear of unknown

Fear

Apprehension, dread, foreboding

Vague unknown fears, for which there can be given no explanations, no reason. Yet the patient may be terrified of something terrible going to happen, he knows not what. These vague unexplainable fears may haunt by night or day. Sufferers are often afraid to tell their trouble to others.

Reflection

Aspen reflects unnamed fear. The alarm has no clear object, yet it colors the day and the night. God does not shame a trembling heart. He gives a sound mind, and He remains present when the reason for the fear cannot be named. Faith here is not a performance of bravery. It is turning an unnamed dread toward the God who is known.

Scripture

2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV). "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

Meditation

Father, when I cannot name what frightens me, I name You. Settle my mind, and teach me to trust You in the dark.
