In these troubling times, we look to that which we share with other ancient traditions to remind us that we have the strength within us to navigate our fears. With the holidays behind us, we might feel excitement about the start of a new year, but also fear of the unknown it brings. “May we not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless.”
