When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. Psalm 56:3
Faithful Lord,
Thank you for your compassion for our fearfulness.
Today, we bring our fears to you:
When we are afraid that we will fail
at work, at school, as caregivers
[name any failures you fear],
we put our trust in you.
When we are afraid that we have made the wrong decisions
for our children,
for our loved ones,
about our work,
[name any wrong decisions you fear],
we put our trust in you.
When we are afraid that our health
or the health of a loved one will not improve
[name any health fears you have],
we put our trust in you.
When we are afraid that we will lose our job
or won’t find one soon
[name any fears about provision you have],
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’ trustworthy name. Amen.
Read Psalm 56:1-13.
