desperate prayer
All creatures feel fear.
Men fear most what they cannot see.
Embrace your worst fear,
We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
I am afraid too, i'm typing with trembling hands. I know i have nothing to be afraid of because God is in control, but to 'not be afraid' is easier said than done. Fear creeps up on us when we least expect it and mucks up things before we get a grip on what's going on.
Last night, time didn't slip away like sand through my fingers; it disappeared like earth moved by a bulldozer. I can only remember the saltiness of my tears, the coldness of the floor as i laid my head down to pray, the voices that swirled endlessly around me til i could hear..or understand no more.
I no longer want to ask "Why?" but instead i want to know "How?"
How can i help David? Teach me, Father God. Guide me and show me what i can do. Please give us faith and hope and strength. Let my words remain eternal here: No matter what happens, i will trust in you, Father.
