The Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thou who rideth upon the heavens, and maketh the earth Thy footstool,
I, {insert your name}, tremble before Thee as a vessel of clay.
Let not fear surround me, nor terror grip my bones.
Strength of Israel, gird me with might in my inner being.
Be with me as Thou wast with Joshua; let not my foot slip.
Remind me of Thy past deliverances from lions and fire.
Speak Thy promises louder than my fears.
Put words of boldness in my mouth like Jeremiah.
Let Thy strength shine through my weakness.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Why This Prayer Matters
God doesn’t usually take away the things that scare us, He gives us the courage to face them with Him by our side.
This prayer invites God’s bravery into your fearful heart. It reminds you that courage isn’t the absence of fear; it’s moving forward even when you’re afraid because you know Who goes with you.
True courage comes from knowing that even if the worst happens, God will still be there holding you up.
Daily Reflection for You
Pause for a moment and reflect,
- What am I most afraid of in this situation?
- How has God been faithful to me in past scary times?
- What’s one small brave step I can take today?

Mama Raya.
