Prayer to Overcome Fear

Dear Father, our hearts and minds

are flooded with many fears.

Sometimes we become paralysed,

and feel unable to go on.

These fears are overwhelming.

Yet we hold on to your truth

You have told us not to fear

For you have overcome the world

So we cling to you, we trust in your promise

That you will never fail us, never forsake us

In moments of such fear

Help me not be paralysed by my fears

But when I am afraid, help me to trust you

In you all promises meet and new life begins. Amen.
