God of comfort, shield and stronghold, reassure us, O Lord, as we sit in our fear and worries, that we would find security in you and trust that you will never forsake us but hold us close to you, ever willing to receive us into your arms, through the suffering servant who bore much suffering but now lives forever in light with you and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘Do not fear, for I am with you.’ – Isa. 43:5
