Spirit of the Lord, who tarries with us along the way, bring reassurance when we are troubled, anxious, or afraid, that we would know you are near and that you care for us and are bringing about good for us and all the world, through Christ our savior, who lives and reigns over all creation in you with the Father in heaven. Amen.
‘Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid.’” – Luke 2:9-10
