A prayer

Original writing, not a quotation of Scripture.

Lord, I am afraid of what’s coming and I can’t talk myself out of it. You already know exactly what tomorrow holds, even the parts I’m dreading. Be my courage when mine runs out.

I don’t need every detail, I just need to know you are going ahead of me and will not leave me to face it alone. When fear whispers that I’m on my own, remind me that isn’t true. Steady my heart and let me walk forward anyway.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
