Fear

Heavenly Father,

You are to be feared. Who can stand before your anger? The whole earth trembles before you. Your creation views you with reverent awe. We are but the works of your hand. We praise you, holy father. You have established your throne. You rule over all things. Without you, there would be nothing. So we boldly come to you and ask for your help, for we are mortal creatures, lowly and weak. Despite this, you have made us a little lower than the angels. You have made us for yourself; in our fallen state, we lack the strength to give ourselves to you. So empower us to seek fellowship with you, our creator. Embolden us to make our requests known to you. Let us experience an ever-growing taste of the joys that emanate from your presence. We love you because you are love itself and have poured love on us. You have redeemed us from the pit at a great price. You have made us yours. Now may we live day by day as the new creations we have become.

In the name of the firstborn of all creation. Amen.
