Prayer for June 21-27, 2015 
Sermon Text: Mark 4:35-41

That we may trust You even under deep threat

Creator God, sometimes it seems that we live from terror to terror.  We are frightened and overwhelmed by the events of our lives as well as by the larger events that seem to engulf the whole world in chaos. 

But we are just as frightened—maybe more frightened—by your action among us.  We do not comprehend your abilities.  We do not believe that You can create peace in the midst of chaotic circumstances, and we are confused and fearful when You do bring an unexpected measure of peace by calming the fearful tumult around us.

We are fearful.  Our faith is weak.  Enable us to trust You enough that we do not panic when threatening circumstances arise.  Enable us to turn to You with confidence, knowing that You are able to face every challenge with authority.  

We will trust in You as You help us to do so.  Amen.
