And the LORD said,

“Do not 

     be afraid of them...”

             Joshua 11. 6

(We are

strategically placed

for His purposes 

far more than

      we can ever know

for His glory 

and for His goodness 

       for many people.

Courage is 

not a lack of fear

but following Him

               anyway,

 not on our strength 

               but His.

He brings us through.)

O Father God,

     Almighty One,

we come before You,

laying not our trophies 

   and accomplishments

              before You

but our paralyzing fears

and debilitating sin

and weaknesses.

Fill us not with

      self confidence 

but with faithfulness 

                 to You

in this impossible place,

Your strength in this,

Your wisdom through it.
