For Those Who Are Afraid

The unknown is terrifying,

responsibility is overwhelming,

the untapped anger cannot be borne.

Hear our cry,

O God of love,

for all so trapped in fear.

Open our hearts to trust your presence

to guide usin the unknown places;

teach us to know

you will support us in allthat we undertake;

free us to share with youthe rage within,

knowingyou will never desert us.

Amen.
