Loving God, who knows us inside and out, alleviate our fears with the knowledge and experience of your love, that we would not live in anxiety and uncertainty, but be grounded in the sureness of your care, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit live one God, now and forever. Amen. ‘ Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. And even the hairs of your head are all counted. So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.’ – Matthew 10:29-31
