Loving Father, I'm facing something that scares me, and I need courage. I don't feel brave. I feel small and uncertain and afraid of failing. But I know that courage isn't the absence of fear—it's taking the next step even when you're afraid. So I'm asking You to walk with me. Help me to do what I need to do, even though I'm scared. Help me to speak up, even though my voice is shaking. Help me to try, even though I might fail. Remind me that You are with me, and that Your presence is enough. I don't have to be perfect. I don't have to have it all figured out. I just have to show up and trust that You will meet me there. Thank You for giving me courage I didn't know I had. Thank You for being my strength when I have none of my own.
