So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
—Mark 16:8
Holy God, change frightens me. Even good change. Yet, you are great in love and power, so I will not succumb to this fear for long. Show me the path to my courage, to live into the new life you offer. Amen.
