Lovefast 27: Fear
By Elliot from Mahabba Derby
Inspired by 'Protecting Muslim youth in Europe' from 30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World booklet
Daily verse
“He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honour him.”
Thought for the day
Fear
I’m afraid of watching the news and seeing the latest atrocities.
I just don’t want to face the reality of the latest tragedy.
Whilst I write this at my desk police in London have carried out raids and arrested seven people in connection with the Westminster attack that killed a policeman, an assailant, and pedestrians crossing Westminster Bridge.
As yet no one has accepted responsibility for the attack.
Many will be more nervous on their way to work today.
Many families will also be worried that their children could be radicalised by friends, over the internet or in prison.
Let’s pray for those waging peace and for those at all levels attempting to formulate effective strategies.
Update: Since writing the above, there have been attacks in Sweden and on a bus in Germany.

Prayer for the day
Let’s pray for those waging peace and for those at all levels attempting to formulate effective strategies.
Daily action
Perhaps the best strategy is showing there is more to life and living a life of radically following Jesus. Watch the clip, 'How can love radically today?'
