A Prayer for Courage
When fear is telling you to shrink back, you can ask God for courage to face what is in front of you. This is a prayer for courage and boldness.
Lord, I am afraid, and fear is making me small. Fill me with the courage that comes from knowing you are with me. Steady my shaking hands and quiet my doubts. Where I want to run, help me to stand. Where I want to stay silent, give me words. Go before me into the thing I am dreading, and remind me that you never leave my side. I will be strong and take heart in you. Amen.
“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”
Joshua 1:9
