Washington • Delivering his last annual sermon to Washington’s elite, President Barack Obama on Thursday warned of the corrosive impact of fear in public life and urged a bipartisan group of power brokers to abide by their faith “even when no one is watching.”
“Fear does funny things. Fear can lead us to lash out against those who are different. Or lead us to try to get some sinister other under control,” Obama said at the annual National Prayer Breakfast. “Faith is the great cure for fear. Jesus is a good cure for fear.”
Obama, too, has said “our thoughts and prayers are not enough.”
“The attitude in some quarters these days is, ‘Don’t just pray; do something about it,'” Ryan said. “The thing is, when you are praying, you are doing something about it. You are revealing the presence of God.”
Addendum:
Everything we can learn or learn-from about fear can help.
