August 1 Healing and Hope within Fear and Anxiety All of us are unhappy or angry or confused at one time or another. But for some these normal, even healthy feelings can become something deeper and more painful. When sadness does not lift or when anger persists, it colors our whole lives. Fear and anxiety can affect our relationships with loved ones and with God. Therefore it is especially important that we pray for all those who live in fear and anxiety. Even though at times we may find it hard to love those closest to us, we must answer their anger and sadness and misunderstanding with unconditional love, in the hope that all may fully enjoy God’s gift of life. Prayer I pray today, Lord, for the unhealthy fears and anxieties that plague me. I also pray for all those who suffer from emotional pain. Some suffer in silence, alone. Some feel ashamed and don’t know how to ask for help. Some lash out, and their pain affects those around them. Some despair, their hopelessness so deep that they hurt themselves. Be with each of us, Lord. Open our eyes to one another’s hurt, that we may treat each other as You treated the broken ones who came to You. Give us hope for another day. Amen.
