Reflection

“Magnify the Lord with me; and let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he answered me, delivered me from all my fears.” –Psalm 34:4-5

Prayer

God who hears,

We all know the difference between a genuine fear and the petty anxieties we often worry over that we can actually do nothing about. When faced with actual fears, a poor prognosis, a loved one in need, a crippling debt, we need the help and the comfort of someone who hears us. Thank you for your own promise, that you hear and answer whenever we seek you. Send others as well into our lives, confidants that we can rely on to hold us up, pray with, and encourage us forward. Give us stories to tell of how you delivered us from all our fears. Amen.
