When you hear the word courage how does that make you feel? Do you rise up and square your shoulders or feel pressure of not measuring up?
There are times we need to be reminded that we can have courage and make it through life with a positive attitude and mindset when we know where our courage is coming from; and if you have never experienced courage; you can with God. He is our strength!
Let’s Pray for COURAGE together, -
I pray for courage today Lord, because you tell me to be strong and of good courage: Your promises are true, for the Lord my God will give me my inheritance and strength!
I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He alone can change any situation. I may battle fear but He can give me courage.
Lord, I come before you, I sit at your feet and humble myself before you. Strengthen me today, Lord, and give me the courage that only comes from you.
I fear not; because He is with me. I will not be dismayed; for God is my God: He will strengthen me; yes, He will help me; yes, He will uphold me with the right hand of His righteousness.
I will be strong and of a good courage; I will not be afraid, neither will I turn away: for the LORD my God is with me wherever I go.
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
The Lord himself goes before me and will be with me; He will never leave me nor forsake me. I will not be afraid; nor will I be discouraged.
I will be strong and courageous and do the work. I will not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God is with me. He will not fail me or forsake me in all I do.
I will be of good courage, and He will strengthen my heart. He will strengthen all who have hope in the LORD. For God didn’t give me a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control.
The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion. Since I have such a hope, I am very bold. The Lord sustains me.
For I have not received the spirit of bo***ge again to fear; but I have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby I cry, Abba, Father.
Boldness is contagious. When I’m bold for The Lord Jesus Christ, enduring hardships for my faith, others are provoked to do the same. I pray for my courage to be contagious Lord to others.
Let me be strong, and let me show myself courageous for the sake of the thy people and for the cities of our God; and may the Lord do what is good in His sight for the Lord is the Lion of Judah! His will be done. His host be ready!
Let me fear not, for I am His child, and it is my Father's good pleasure to give me the kingdom. The Lord tells me to be sure of this: He is with me always, even to the end of the age.
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
The Lord tells me as His child to be strong in Him, and in the power of His might. So, I will put on the whole armour of God, that I may be able to stand against the attacks of the devil. I decree and declare the enemy is at a standstill, he is defeated. And I will not lay down my shield!
In your unfailing love Lord, I declare you will lead me because you have redeemed me. In your strength you will guide me to your holy dwelling. I will be safe in You.
The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my God, and I will exalt him. God is my refuge and strength, an ever-present help in the time of trouble.
Take courage says the Lord! Do not let my hands be weak, for my work will be rewarded. Strengthen me today Lord, that my courage may be on solid ground and my feet not slip. As a great shaking may come, I will not be shaken, but courageous in YOU!
Peace you give me Lord, and peace you leave with me. Not as the world gives, but your peace through your beautiful grace. Let not my heart be troubled, neither let me be afraid.
Let me then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that I may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
May the Lord strengthen my heart with courage so that I will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.
Amen ~
When trouble comes, He can help us to be courageous. Hold His hand and stand. Do not be afraid, He will help you! When I was on the ventilator fighting for my life during covid, God was with me.
It was amazing to be in such a situation, knowing He was there, He gave me the courage to stand that all would be well and I would not die. It still shocks me that He took me through that to be able to tell others of His tender mercies. I was told I was the only survivor in my ICU.
May God grace us today with an unbelievable courage, so that many will see the Glory of the Lord!!!
Have a wonderful day,
