How many times are we faced with a situation that seems so overwhelming that all we have to offer is fear? Perhaps a friend is making decisions that seem strange or unfamiliar to us. Or perhaps there is illness in our family. Any of life’s situations can bring us into this overwhelming state of fear.
The challenge is to sit with the fear, accept it, let it overwhelm you, but without immediate action. My guess is that the fear will turn into prayer for the person or situation.
The calm of prayer will replace the anxiety of the fear.
