Lord, grant me a measure of your courage as I face this new day. Prepare me to withstand temptation and resist evil. Empower me to persevere through difficulty and face challenges. Embolden me to complete the good works that you have set before me in this day. To your glory and honor, amen.
Challenges and difficulties come to all people, young or old. For the Christian, the awareness that God is present gives courage. We know that the God who reminded Joshua to be strong and courageous remains the same God who reminds us of the very same thing today.
He goes with us and before us. We should not let oppositions and trials harass or terrify us. Our powerful God will never leave us nor forsake us. His strength makes us capable of all that He desires us to accomplish, for His glorious testimony among the lost. His courage is yours to take today and every day.
