DAY 1
MORNING PRAYER
“Fear not
for I am with you.” Isaiah 41:10. There will be times
in each of our lives when we feel fear. It is during these times of fear and
uncertainty that we need to turn to God for guidance and strength. Bravery
is not the absence of fear, but the act of accepting and facing our fears, and
knowing that God is always with you.
This week, as we approach Remembrance Day, let us keep of all the people who
have faced their fears in the service of protecting us and our country, in our
thoughts.
Loving God,
Thank you for being with us always.
Even in times when we may feel afraid or
alone,
help us to know
your presence and feel your love.
We pray for the men, women, children, and
soldiers
who have faced their fears
for the freedoms and safety, we enjoy
every day.
We ask this through Jesus’s name,
Amen
