PRAYER FOR SALVATION FROM FEAR Save me, my God, from the fear that humiliates and shames me as Your creature. Let me not be frightened day or night; for Yours is the day and Yours is the night. Let neither mountain nor water frighten me; for thou hast made the mountains above, and hast set the bounds of waters. Let not the beast of the mountain nor the beast of the water frighten me; for all beasts are thy Lord. Let me not be frightened by a dream in the night, nor by an apparition in the day; for Your Angel stands at my right hand. Let not even your invisible adversary, the eternal God, frighten me; because You defeated him with Your honorable cross. And let not death frighten me, my all-knowing Christ, because You accompanied death with death, and with the resurrection illuminated the whole world as a sevenfold light. Fear follows me like a shadow. At noon the shadow of the trees disappears. When the sun rises high above all objects on the earth, then the shadow is lost. When the sun is in its east or west, lower than the high mountains, then the shadows are the longest. And You, my Lord, when you are lower to my sight than any heights of the earth, shadows gather around me, long and dark and frighten my heart. And when I see You exalted above all heights, the shadows disappear and fear leaves me. O Saints of God, offer your prayers for me a sinner, that I may be saved from the fear of the foolish. Angels of God, merciful prayer-giver, put a lot of incense in Your golden incense burner, and burn incense for all who fear God, and for me a sinner. Glory to Him who sits on the eternal throne glory, glory to him forever. Amen!
