Joyful courage - Loving Trust

"Lord, deliver us from the fear of the unknown future; from fear of failure; from fear of poverty; from fear of loneliness; from fear of death. Help us by Your grace to love and fear only You; fill our hearts with cheerful courage and loving trust in You" 
~Akanu Ibaim~
{paraphrased]


"Dear Lord, I wonder and adore!
Thy grace is all divine!
O keep me, that I sin no more
Against such love as Thine!"
~John Newton~
