Shared Prayer

O Lord, who hears and answers prayers Your Word declares that You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. When fear rises and the ground feels unstable, draw Your people into Your shelter. Strengthen believers who wake to bad news, those under threat, those displaced, those grieving, those carrying heavy responsibility for children or aging parents. Let panic lose its voice, we rebuke every tormenting thought that says You have left us. Make our hearts firm in Your promises, and set our steps in wisdom and peace. Remind us in the darkest hour that the Lord of hosts is with us, and trouble is not greater than Your power. Thank You for being close, for holding us up, and for giving help that does not fail. We trust You and give You praise. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
