Boldness

"Do not be afraid. Put out into the deep."

— Luke 5:4

Lord of boldness,

Fear often keeps me on the shore. Fear of failure, of judgment, of the unknown. I stay in my comfort zone even when it becomes too narrow, even when You call me into the deep.

Give me the boldness to move forward. To leave the known, to venture into adventure, to explore new horizons. The boldness to dream big, to believe it's possible, to launch out despite the risk.

May I dare to be fully alive, to take calculated risks, to accept the possibility of failure in order to live the possibility of success. With You at my side, I can dare to go into the deep.

Amen.

Reflection

What are you not daring to do out of fear? What small bold step could you take today toward that dream, that project, that change?

For those who are paralyzed by fear and need boldness.
