I pray that their fear will cause them to seek the Lord that He may show Himself strong on their behalf - as I am sure you are already doing.

The fear is tangible on the faces of many that you meet. I smile at everyone and strike up conversations wherever I can, and really try to interact with every cashier, and service person. People are afraid, but we don't have to let that stop the love of Christ from flowing through us!
I walk several miles a day, and everyone in my neighborhood knows me. I started waving to them and most barely would even look my direction, let alone wave. However, I kept waving, at every vehicle that passed me, and I looked at them and smiled. What happened? Now, I see people starting to wave at me now before I can even begin. People stop to talk to me, and many have stopped to ask me to pray for them. I'm just walking! But, it is my mission field. I've made it my mission field. I pray for them all, and you know... maybe my smile made a difference in their day.
I'm not succumbing to the fear, because as Christians, we can, and should... rise above it.
