Courage

God,

Give me courage today. Not just to face big fears, but to take small steps forward even when I’m unsure.

Courage to speak truth, to stand firm, to love people who are hard to love. Courage to be myself, to show up, to try again.

When I feel afraid, remind me that You are with me. That I don’t have to be brave alone. That You’ve already gone before me.

Let courage rise up in me — not from hype, but from knowing You are near.

Amen.
