They Told You Courage Comes From Yourself (God Shows True Strength in Jesus)

So many people believe courage comes from inside ourselves—but God’s Word shows us that REAL COURAGE comes only through His Spirit living in us. This powerful prayer will help you find strength, boldness, and unshakable faith to stand for Jesus in a world filled with fear, compromise, and pressure.
We all face moments where it feels easier to stay silent about our faith. Yet the Bible reminds us that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. When we walk closely with Him, He fills us with the courage to speak truth, love others boldly, and live unashamed of the gospel.
In this prayer, we ask God to:
• Replace fear with faith and boldness
• Give us strength to live openly for Jesus in our families, workplaces, and communities
• Remind us that Heaven stands with us when we stand for Christ
• Fill us with the Holy Spirit so our lives shine as a testimony of God’s power
Whether you’re struggling with fear, pressure to compromise, or uncertainty in your walk with Christ, this prayer will encourage you to stand strong in the Lord.
Remember: Courage is not about our strength—it is about His. Just as Peter went from denying Jesus to boldly preaching before thousands, God can transform YOUR fear into fearless faith. No matter where you are today, God is with you, His promises are for you, and His courage will never fail you.
Pray with us and let God fill your heart with the courage to live unashamed for Jesus.
