Be Strong and Courageous

Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or discouraged. These words are not spoken lightly—they are spoken by a God who knows exactly what lies ahead of you. Strength and courage are not the absence of fear; they are the decision to move forward in spite of it, trusting that God is with you.

There will be moments when the path feels uncertain and the challenges feel bigger than your ability. In those moments, God does not ask you to rely on your own strength. He calls you to lean into His presence. Courage grows when you remember who walks beside you. Discouragement fades when you realise you are not alone in the battle.

Fear often comes when we focus on what could go wrong. Faith rises when we focus on who God is. He goes before you, stands with you, and surrounds you from behind. What intimidates you does not intimidate Him. What feels overwhelming to you is already under His authority.

Today, lift your head. Take the next step. Don’t let fear paralyse you or discouragement silence your faith. God is greater than what you face, and His strength is made perfect when yours feels weak.

“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

Prayer: Lord, give me strength when I feel weak and courage when fear tries to rise. Help me trust that You are with me wherever I go. Amen.

Declaration : I am strong and courageous. God is with me, and I will not be afraid or discouraged.

Be strong. Be courageous. God is with you—always. God bless you abundantly.
