Courage and strength

Courage and strength

The LORD is my strength (Exodus 15:2; NLT).

But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!” (Matthew 14:27; NLT).

Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ (Ephesians 4:15; NLT).


Father,
Whenever I’m afraid
To say what I need to,
I feel powerless,
Anxious,
And depressed.

Please give me
The courage and strength I lack.

Help me
To speak the truth with love,
As Jesus did,
So I can become
Just a little more like him.

Amen.
