Scripture

1 John 4.7-21

Time of Reflection and Prayer

Spend time reflecting on what you have read and communing with God.

Benediction

I wonder if fear is not our main obstacle to prayer. When we enter into the presence of God and start to sense the huge reservoir of fear in us, we want to run away into the many distractions that our busy world offers us so abundantly. But we should not be afraid of our fears. We can confront them, give words to them, cry out to God, and lead our fears into the presence of the one who says, “Don’t be afraid, it is I.”
