Fear
Courage for today only
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God.”
Courage is not a feeling you generate; it is a Presence you lean on. You are not asked to be brave for the whole year — only for the hour in front of you.
One practice
Do the one small brave thing you have been avoiding.
Prayer
Lord, come close where fear has been sitting. Steady my hands.
