Prayer for Courage

Courage against fear — Joshua 1:9

Free: Prayers for Difficult Times

Three powerful prayers for courage, hope, and perseverance when life is hard.

Lord God of Hosts, the God of David who faced Goliath, the God of Daniel in the lion's den, the God of Esther who risked her life for her people — I ask You for courage. I confess that I am afraid. Fear has taken hold of my heart, and it is paralyzing me. I am afraid of what lies ahead. I am afraid of failure. I am afraid of what others will think. I am afraid of the unknown. But Your Word says: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." — Joshua 1:9
