Reflection

“Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.” ~ Dorothy Thompson

Prayer

God of strength and courage, often our lives are shaped by fear. We fear events swirling around in our world. We harbor fears about our own safety and security. We can fear the unknown, like the substance of our future. And yet, we trust in your love and the power of your guiding hand over the unfolding of world history and our own history. Send your Holy Spirit upon us. Inspire us to face each day with courage, confident in your compassion and goodness. We pray this in your name. Amen.
