Speak to them as they read your word and bring verses of encouragement and comfort to their attention. I pray that you will calm any fear or anxiety they may be feeling. Help them have the discernment to hear your voice as you lead them in their next steps. Open their eyes, ears, and hearts to you. Draw near to them and let them feel your presence.
