There are times in life when we feel dread and doubt, but when we turn to our Heavenly Father, he gives us courage. I frequently get extreme feelings of discouragement, fatigue, or frustration. Whether it’s small things that make me feel this way or significant life events that have left me worn out and aching, I know I don’t have the strength to get through this on my own. I find prayers like these to be consoling on days like that. May we instead decide to kneel before our Father in heaven and ask him for the strength and bravery we need to continue when we sense those emotions beginning to sneak in.
We frequently overlook the link between courage and prayer. However, prayer is how we remind ourselves of God’s attributes and past deeds. He is endlessly loving, wise, powerful, and good. He also uses his unbounded wisdom, goodness, love, and perfection to take care of us every day. Looking back on our lives, we can see that what God has spoken is true; he has never abandoned us in the midst of our difficulties.
He never leaves our side, always meets our needs, and never stops loving, supporting, and fortifying us each day in preparation for the difficulties that lie ahead. When we take the time to express our thanks for what God has accomplished, it inspires us to pray firmly for the assistance we require in the here and now and in the moments to come.

Prayer For Courage To Do The Right Thing
Father, please give me the strength to resist the temptations that surround me. There are days when I am not your strongest soldier, and I may succumb to evil temptations.

Please give me the strength and courage I need to live a godly life that will bring You glory. For the sake of others and my faith, may I have the courage to do what is right. Amen.
Prayer for No Worries
Jesus, you showed courage and did not fear what your enemies would do to you. You could only encounter them with love and bravery. You stated that your father was the sole decision-maker.

Prayer for Direction
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that you grant me the same courage you gave to David because life has become unpredictable and there are numerous ways to profit or lose in my business.

Because you are my Lord, please aid in my achievement. Amen.
Serenity Prayer For Peace and Strength
God, grant me the serenity to accept what cannot be changed, the courage to change what should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish between the two. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardship as a path to peace, and accepting this sinful world as it is, as Jesus did. Not as I would have it, but trusting that if I surrender to Your will, You will make all things right, so that I can be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next.

I ask the Lord to give me the courage to speak up. Please give me the fortitude to constructively confront tradition and improve people’s lives. Amen.
Prayer For Courage To Share The Gospel
Lord, there are times when I hesitate to share Your good news. Not because I have doubts about You or my faith, but because I have doubts about myself. I sometimes doubt my ability to properly communicate Your news. I pray for the courage and confidence to believe in myself because I know that with You by my side, I can accomplish anything. God, give me the strength and courage to share Your good news with others, because they, too, need Your presence in their lives. This I ask in the name of Christ, our Lord, Amen.
Prayer For Fear of Rejection
Dear Lord, thank you for teaching us to always act morally. We’ve learned from you not to be afraid of those who ridicule you and us. Being morally upright and ethical is challenging when everyone else believes you are in the wrong.

Help me to discover joy and happiness in helping others and being kind to them. Amen.

I hope that I can be as courageous and steadfast as you were in changing the world. I have faith and trust in you. Amen.
Prayer For Courage And Determination
Dearest Father God, I’m afraid I’m losing faith in what I’m doing. Rejections and failures have beaten me down time and again. You, Lord, understand what true strength and resilience are. Please give me Your strength so that I can have the courage to keep trying despite my feelings of defeat. You only have my best interests at heart, so if it isn’t meant for me, I must have faith in You. You have big plans for me, so I have to stay focused and not give up. I can find strength and courage in You. Thank You, Lord, and Amen.

Prayer to Hold onto Your Word
You have commanded us to be brave and strong, dear God, our Lord. You tell us not to be afraid or disheartened because you are with us wherever we go.

Amen.
Prayer For Courage During Confrontations
My heart trembles with fear while I pray to the Lord in heaven. Even if I am not Your bravest or Strongest Soldier, I will keep fighting for what is right.

I ask that You grant me the ability to communicate with them so that we can resolve our disagreements and work in unison to deepen our confidence in You. May this prayer give me the bravery to confront them fearlessly because I know You will be there for me when the time comes. Amen.
