Dear God,

Why do we hold our fears so close?  Why do we not even allow you into our closet of hidden fears?  Why do we do such ridiculous things that keep us from living whole lives?

Fear grows and expands when held close.  But fear in the divine light begins to diminish.  It is seen for what it really is, not what we think it is.  Fear in your hand becomes a possibility.  But then you are the God of possibility, of hope and transformation.

Our world is riddled with fear right now.  So much fear over so many things.  Fear does not move us to a better place.  It keeps us locked up and paralyzed.  But you, O God of potentiality, hold the key to our boxes.  Your desire is to unlock the doors and set us free.  No fear is greater than your ability to destroy or transform it. 

Help us,

O God,

allow you

to shine

your light

on our fear.

Rid us

of all

that keeps us

bound up.

Show us

the way

to total freedom,

I pray.

Love, Andrea
