With God, We can do whatever needs to be done!
Beginning a new year, what do you need courage for this year, this day, this month, this week? Do you need to apologize, forgive, break an old habit, discipline a child, love in the face of rejection? Courage isn’t just for those times when you re facing grave danger. Anytime you face a difficult unpredictable situation or person, it takes courage to move forward. When you re tempted to run away from your problems, let faith help you turn toward God. With Him, you will find the courage to do whatever needs to be done.
When I asked for you help, you answered my prayer and gave me courage.
PSALM 138:3
Be strong and courageous and do the work. Do not be afraid or discourage, for the Lord, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the Lord is finished. 1 Chronicles 28:20
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
Dear Father: please remind us every day that no matter what happens to cause us to be afraid and anxious within, You give us the courage and strength to face it and conquer it. Even when it is hard to face our problems directly and not run from them, You will give us strength and courage and help us to act on
them according to Your will.
AMEN
