Praying When Afraid
You, O Lord, have also known fear. You have been deeply troubled; your sweat and tears were signs of your fear. Make my fear, O Lord, part of yours, so that it will lead me not to darkness but to the light, and will give me a new understanding of the hope of your cross. Amen.
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
- Isaiah 41: 10
Reflection Question: How might you offer your fear to become part of Jesus’ fear so that you can experience moving from darkness to light with him?
