How do i fix my phone in recovery mode?

So this iOS8 software was just released about a day ago in my country, and i did download the software update on my phone. Throughout the download, i plugged in my iphone5s to my macbook and itunes just popped out saying that a software update is available, and whether if i want to download it. So i clicked download and update and suddenly my phone was detected on recovery mode on itunes and the only option left is to restore and download software update. How do i get through this? I clicked restore bcause thats the only option i had, so now im very worried if my all my data would be missing. What do i do now?

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.2, about to download ios8

Restoring will wipe data from your iPhone. you need to restore it from the last backup you made before the upgrade to iOS 8.


See this document on restoring from an iCloud backup:

If you can't update or restore your iOS device
