Wednesday, April 24, 2024 — Psalm 55:1–8
Leviticus 18:6–19:11; Mark 6:14–29
Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed. Isaiah 54:4
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised.” Matthew 28:5-6
Loving God, you continually whisper to us to not be afraid. Still, our very human selves often give in to fear. Tune our ears to hear your voice of assurance. Embolden us to serve bravely. Open our hearts to receive your peace. Amen.
