Courage is Trusting Him Anyway

You shall not be in dread of them,

for the LORD your God

        is in your midst,

a great and awesome God.

             Deuteronomy 7. 21

(There will always be something

        to be afraid of.

But there is always God

        to trust in.

What we choose 

dictates how we go forth,

  how we view possibilities,

  how we approach and

    navigate difficulties differently.

How many countless times in Scripture

    God reminds us over and over?

"Do not be afraid.

            I am with you."

When we trust Him,

  the journey is not the same,

  nor the outcome.

God answers with His strength,

   courage and blessings we cannot

              yet conceive.

He is the LORD our God.)

O LORD,

We come to You with our joys.

We come to You

  with our overwhelming fears.

Please make us aware

            of Your Presence with us

and that You walk with us

   in impossible situations,

   unexpected places,

   and among unlikely people.

Help us to trust You in this.

Even in this.

Everyday is a

    story of Your faithfulness.

Even when we cannot yet

      see how You unfold

      Your grand narrative.

Be glorified in us, we pray.
