Seeds of Hope: Talks and Homilies by Fr. Mike Muhr
Have Courage - I Am With You
In this episode you’ll hear about a storm and Jesus asleep in the boat and how this story connects to so many of us in our moments of anxiety and worry. After calming the wind and the seas, Jesus asks them and us, “Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?” You’ll then hear a story of transforming peace and a prayer in times of uncertainty.

Prayer in Uncertainty
Oh, Lord God, you alone are my hope. I place my confidence in you. My present state is uncertain, and this uncertainty weighs upon me. I look for words of encouragement, but I fear news I do not wish to hear.
May your presence in my heart take away all tension and mistrust. Anxiety is part of everyone’s life, and now I must cope with my share. Lord, it is not easy to spend minutes, hours, even days not knowing the outcome.
Come to me, I beg of you and reassure me again of your love. When I am uneasy, I view life with a limited vision. May the light of faith help me to see more clearly and trust in you. Amen
