Scripture  

Isaiah 41:10 (NRSVUE)  

Do not fear, for I am with you;  

do not be afraid, for I am your God.  

I will strengthen you, I will help you;  

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Refrain  

God holds me when I cannot hold myself.

Quote / Poem  

Frederick Buechner  

“Faith is not a clenched fist  

but an open hand.  

It is not holding on for dear life  

but letting yourself be held.  

For underneath our lives,  

so fragile and fierce,  

are the everlasting arms—  

stronger than fear,  

softer than grace,  

wider than we can imagine.”
