Hollywood Prayer Network On CourageSample

STAND FIRM, DO ALL IN LOVE, YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST 

 "Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway."  John Wayne  

PRAY:   God, my heavenly Father, You tell me to be on my guard and yet be strong and courageous. I need You to show me how to stand firm in my faith and especially how to do everything in love. I truly believe that I can do all things through You, who gives me strength, but I don't know how. Will You help me? Thank you, my God. Thank you!

REFLECT:  From what are we on our guard? Against whom do we have to stand firm in the faith? Why do we have to be courageous and strong? And how do we do everything in love? None of us truly know, but that's why we need God the Father, Jesus and Son AND the Holy Spirit. It takes a trinity to give us strength, and to prepare us for the battles of life with courage and love. You just have to believe, in complete humility, that you can only do all things through Him who gives you strength. And that's the most courageous thing you will ever do! 

ACT:    Make a short list of three things you need God for today. The list should look like this - 

I need to be on my guard from this

I need to stand firm in the faith in this situation

I need to be courageous and strong in this

Once you define the three areas of need, tell the Lord that you commit to do everything in love. And tell Him you truly believe that you can do all this through Him who gives you strength. Then start your day and wait on Him to supply all that you need!
