You are invited to voice any prayers you may have, In silence, outloud or in writing on a prayer card.
If it feels supportive for you, written prayer cards can be placed in Snowmass Chapel’s GOD CAN at Touchpoint #11, where they will be prayed over in anonymity or by name if you choose.
In times like these, it can be hard to think of fear as a healthy emotion created by God. When we’re afraid, we slow down, become cautious and pay attention. It’s a perfect time to pray. Fear invites us to pause and sort through our thoughts – even writing them down. With each thought, we can ask,
“God, is this really you?”
By attending to only the thoughts based in love, we can find our way out of the morass of fear and move towards God’s intention for our life.
The Caring Connection team members are here to listen, care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support to people going through tough times. We can hike, go for a walk, grab some coffee, or sit in the living room — it’s up to you but know we are committed to being present for you. We are trained laypeople, not therapists. If you need professional assistance or intervention, we can connect you with the help you need.
