This command was given to a man inheriting a job that terrified him. Be strong and courageous, not because the task shrank, but because the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. A prayer for doing the scary thing accompanied.
Have I not commanded you? 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 (NIV)
The prayer
Father, You command me not to fear or be discouraged. You will be with me wherever I go. I choose courage over anxiety, knowing Your presence goes with me.
Make it yours: change any words that don’t fit, or stop at the one line that’s true today.
Amen can wait until you mean it.
