Courage

"Be strong and courageous."

— Joshua 1:6

God of strength,

Life sometimes requires courage. Facing challenges, taking on responsibilities, confronting what awaits me. Courage is not the absence of fear but the strength to move forward despite it.

Give me the courage I need. The strength to do what must be done, to rise to the challenges that present themselves, to persevere when it's difficult.

May I remember that I am never alone. That You walk with me, that Your strength supports me, that I can draw from You when my own strength falters.

Amen.

Reflection

What challenge requires courage from you right now? How can you draw the necessary strength?

For all those who need courage to face their challenges.
