Prayer for the Fearful

There’s a lot of fear about; fear about the madness of politicians; fear about the wellbeing of the environment; fear for the future. Some reckon that fear is the opposite of love, and I am inclined to agree. This prayer is dedicated to those that are feeling the fear of the moment, and I feel for them.

Everywhere we go
There is a cause
A cause to worry
A cause for pain

But everywhere we go
There’s a powerful challenge… 
It comes from a little voice
That says
Maybe there’s no cause to worry
No reason for pain

The voice says 
Now’s the moment
To reach out
To the untouchable sky
And ask for calm

Very quietly it says
In this second
Remember the song of the sea
And ask for peace

Don’t be afraid
The world may seem noisy
Full of clattering antagonism
But it’s kind

Remember…
Kindness is everywhere
It’s in you and around you
Gently weaving compassion
Into your soul
Opening doors of understanding
Universal love for the world

When you experience
Love for the world
You can’t feel fear
There’s no place
Or space
For fear
Just love
