Do not fear - I will help you

I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear: I will help you. After Laurie Klein recited soothing and reassuring words from Psalms 62 and 63 and Isaiah 41:3, the musicians struck up brief but moving improvisations, in this live recording from the Symphony of Worship Conference in Malvern in 2000. As the first of these improvisations unfold, this is an opportunity to let the Spirit of the Lord wash over you with His rest. When the second one draws to a close, however, you may wish to stay in a spirit of prayer for some time afterwards, and see how the Lord leads, and what comes to mind. Lord Jesus, thank You for the deep soothing rest that You give us. How can we ever thank You enough for all the help that You give, and the interventions that You send? We drink in Your presence now Lord, and ask You to be with every single person, place or situation that comes to mind, and that we lift to You now.
