Against Fear

Author: lemongrass  |  Category: Poetry, Prayer

Fear and anxiety are powerful stalkers, and this prayer tackles them in a wonderfully original and peaceful way.  It might seem strange at first, but it really works. It is taken from Meditative Prayers For Today by Adam Bittleston, published by The Christian Community Press.

May the events that seek me
come unto me;
May I receive them
with a quiet mind
Through the Father’s ground of peace
on which we walk.

May the people who seek me
come unto me;
May I receive them
with an understanding heart
Through the Christ’s stream of love
in which we live.

May the spirits which seek me
come unto me;
May I receive them
with a clear soul
Through the healing Spirit’s Light
by which we see.
