When I am afraid, I beg God to eliminate the object of my fear. Should I only pray not to be afraid -- for a more steadfast faith: that I am at all times in God's Hands and in God's Hands, I am safe? What prayer in our moment of pleading does He want and how is it to be found with absolute truth when the primary truth is a sense of rampant vulnerability?

So do I, but he still makes me go over and squash the spider myself.
> Should I only pray not to be afraid -- for a more steadfast faith:
Yaakov had steadfast faith. Didn't stop him from sucking up to Eisav.
In conclusion: fear softly and carry a big flame thrower.
