How do you pray when you’re afraid?
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. Psalm 56:3
Lord God,
Thank you for your compassion
for our fearfulness.
Today, we bring our fears to you:
When we are afraid that we will fail
,
We put our trust in you.
When we are afraid
that we’ve made the wrong decisions for our children or grandchildren
,
We put our trust in you.
When we are afraid that our health
or the health of a loved one will not improve
,
We put our trust in you.
When we are afraid that we won’t find jobs or find finances
,
We put our trust in you.
Father, you know all of our fears,
and you invite us to bring them to you.
As we do so, calm our hearts and minds
in the hope of your kind provision.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Read Psalm 56.
