Courage for the Moment

Someday — maybe even today — you will need cour­age for the trials Jesus said will come your way. He encourages you in such times to be brave and trust in His strength through you. For, “You are from God…and have overcome them, for greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). This means He is there with you, and He will provide all the courage you need for the moment.

A Prayer to Pray

Lord Jesus, I thank You that You are beside me right now and at all times. Help me to recall Your power­ful presence when I need to be courageous and live boldly as a Christian, to speak up when it’s the right thing to do, and stand up in the midst of difficult sit­uations. Amen.

This isn’t the way it went for this family here or that family over there. And this isn’t the way it was supposed to be for my family!”
