Prayer text
Lord, when fear grows within me, remind me that Your presence is greater. Give me prudence to act well, courage to do what is necessary, and trust not to give myself over to despair. Amen.
When to pray this prayer
Pray before facing something frightening, when leaving home, during a spiritual struggle, or when you need renewed courage.
How to pray calmly
Find a possible place of silence, make the Sign of the Cross, read the prayer slowly, and pause on the phrases that speak most to your heart. There is no need to rush: a brief prayer made with attention is worth more than many words spoken without presence.
Small practical step
Name the fear and choose one prudent action you can take today.
