Week 6 of 12
"...Be strong and courageous...for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9
Coffee Moment
Inhale deeply and smell the coffee, reminding yourself that simply showing up is enough.
Reflection
We naturally wish to avoid uncertainty and discomfort when we experience something new. Practice builds confidence and muscle memory. Trust God with your anxiety and moving forward one step at a time, even as you feel the fear. As you learn to trust the Lord and cultivate courage, anxiety begins to diminish, allowing your faith to grow. Mistakes will happen, yet the Lord is for you and with you. Have the courage to show up and trust the Lord to help you.
Discussion Questions
- What social situations intimidate you?
- How can faith help you overcome fear?
Prayer
Lord, give us courage when we encounter a fearful situation.
