Prayer of Bravery

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

There are times we have to face the darkness. When we have to summon our courage, we come to you and ask you to fill us with bravery. We ask you to take our fear and transform it into that which we can use to stand in our strength. We affirm to be impervious to dark messages coming at us from the outside world, that the light that shines with us obliterates any seeds of doubt that may trouble our composure. Cleanse us Father, cleanse us with your holy fire. Burn away remnants of old painful experiences of the past that made us feel powerless. They have no clout any more. Help us maintain the wisdom and strength to meet every challenge head-on. “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (Romans 12:2)

Give us the cunning to resist the snares of darkness when trouble comes near. Help us withstand the storms that swirl around us and discern truth from disinformation. Bless us with resilience and fortitude to make solid progress toward success. Be with us to fight with all our might when we must. “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6)

We promise Father, to rid our world of despair and to help transform it into Light. “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” (2Timothy 1:7) To bravely push forward and shine into all dark corners without hesitation, as only your Children of Light can do. We stand firm in loving service and endless endurance.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

“Courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality. ”

― CS Lewis

Courage resides in each of us. There comes a time in eveyone’s life when we reach our testing point. Doing good in the world is something we earnestly try to achieve. In times of pressure, we are tested. If we can continue to be merciful and kind when it is hardest, that is when our courage is visible. By standing for what we truly believe, we pull out everything we have and knowing that our strength will carry us through, we will achieve greatness together.

I know it seems we will never make progress, and life just seems to keep smacking us around. I promise you that you can do this, that you were born to be here now and that you have it within you to rise to whatever challenge is set before you and shine brightly. What does it mean to shine brightly?

“Courage is not the absence of fear. Only fools have no fear. Rather, courage is the intellectual mastery of fear by understanding the true risks and opportunities of the situation and keeping those things in balance”
