BRAVERY

JOSHUA 1:9 (CEV)
This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

2 TIMOTHY 1:7 (CEV)
God’s Spirit doesn’t make cowards out of us. The Spirit gives us power, love, and self-control.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
We can bravely face all the challenges of life because God is present with us, his Spirit gifting us with everything we need to overcome -- power, love, and self-control.

PRAYER
Gracious God, thank you for coming into the world to be with us. Even though I get all wishy washy when trouble comes my way, I know that I can count on you. Fill me with a brave and loving heart -- steady and calm in the face of calamity. Thank you! Amen!
