Happened with me yesterday with my 4S and 3GS and i too panicked.
Do this...
1. Hold the POWER and HOME button simultaneously and wait for 10-15 seconds. You should see the APPLE logo on the screen.
2. Once the logo comes, release the POWER button but still keep the HOME button pressed.
3. Leave HOME button after 5-10 seconds and leave the phone on its own.
4. In about 30 seconds to 1 Minute or so your phone will come back to life and exit out of recovery.
