"I Will Fear No More" by The Afters is an anthem against anxiety, born out of the band's own struggles with worry and uncertainty. I will lift my eyes I will lift my cares Lay them in Your hands I'll leave them there When the wind and waves are coming, You shelter me Even though I'm in the storm, the storm is not in me.

The turning point in the song is a pivot from worry to prayer, a shift of focus from our problems to the character of God. It is a humble admission that we can't do it alone and a plea for God to help us remember that He holds all things in His hands. It's the moment we choose to stop leaning on our own limited understanding and start trusting in His infinite wisdom.
