Gentle Father, who knows our weakness, reassure us when we are afraid, that strengthened by your care, we would be emboldened to fulfill your will for us in the world, through Christ our savior, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
‘After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, “Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.”‘ – Genesis 15:1
