Reflection

“I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me.”
~ Erica Jong

Prayer

God of courage, we live in uncertain times. Uncertainty can often breed fear, fear of what is and fear of what may yet be. Inspire us by the example of your son Jesus to face these uncertain times with courage and faith, and with genuine hope for the future you promise. May we trust in the truth that you love us and will never abandon us. Strengthened by your love, stir within us the courage we need to confront fear and to live courageously. In God’s name, we pray. Amen.
