Dear God,

Fear can grip us stealing away every ability to move, think and act.  It is the opposite of faith that trusts in One who is greater than fear.

O Lord, as I gaze upon survivors of the Tennessee flood, the afghan rush to leave their home nation and those running from hurricanes and wildfires, I reflect upon the terror right now in human eyes.  Oh, how I want to take it away.  How I want to bring calm, security and basic necessities.  Fear is plaguing so many for a great number of reasons.

Dearest God, 

help us 

fall backward

into your arms 

at every threat.  

Show us 

the way 

to even 

greatest trust.  

Point us 

in the direction 

of help, 

guidance and resources 

for our 

every need. 

You know us

more fully

than any other. 

Take hold 

of us 

and keep us 

forever close.

Love, Andrea
