FAITH
VS. FEAR
Lord
God of All Things,
Help
me overcome every fear, realizing that all fate
is in Your hands, and that while
I must live my life carefully, I should not fear,
since I know that You are here,
always close, always watching over me,
always beside me in every step I take.
Certainly
I will not intentionally court danger, but I must
face whatever is to come.
Help
me to resist fanaticizing or fearing what may or
may not be in store for me,
but only resolve to make the best of whatever hand
I am dealt.
Hold
me close to Your Sacred Heart,
and let me not give offense to You
by not putting my entire trust in Your Goodness
and Your Protection.
Saints
walked into the lions' den, fearless, knowing that
You would not desert them.
Help
me to trust, as they did.
Let
me never desert You, as I know that
You will never desert me.
All
this I pray to You in fiercest adoration and total
trust, this day and always,
My Almighty God!
Amen
