Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; HE will never leave you nor forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)

Courage doesn’t mean you don’t get afraid. Courage means you don’t let fear stop you.

— Bethany Hamilton

Father in heaven, in the time of fear and uncertainty, give us the strength and courage to persevere. Help us to trust in Your steadfast presence and to move forward with confidence, knowing that You are always by our side. In Jesus’ precious name we pray… Amen.
