God of wonder,
we have to admit that if we climbed a mountain with Jesus
and he became blindingly white
while talking to two ancient people who appeared out of nowhere…
we would have no idea what to say or do.
We would be just as terrified as the disciples.
And too often, our fear keeps us from being amazed…
from taking risks that will be positively life-changing…
and from letting unconditional love guide our words and actions.
So draw us out of our fears…
and inspire us by the wonder of life around us…
even now…as we offer our silent confessions…
