1. Prayer for Courage to Follow Your Calling
Lord God, help me to remember that when you call me, you will equip me—that I should not look at the task in front of me but keep my eyes firmly fixed on you. Forgive me when I have made excuses or questioned You. Today, I will have courage to do the right thing. I will stay true to the task of trusting You. Lord God, I want to have the joy of seeing You at work. I want to marvel at seeing Your power at work through me, your humble servant. Thank you for giving me the privilege of serving you.In Jesus’ name, Amen.
2. Prayer for Courage to Act Quickly
Lord God, I want to not only have the courage to act quickly when I need to, but also to make sure my actions are right and pleasing in your eyes. I ask you to give me the wisdom to know when to act quickly to do the right thing. When I can avert disaster whether at home or across the world, show me how to act wisely. When I can stop others doing the wrong thing, whether in my family, church, workplace, or community, give me the courage to step up and speak. When I need to do the right thing that goes against the norms of today, give me common sense, and integrity. Lord, thank you for your wisdom that you give to those who ask. I ask you in advance to give me wisdom when needed. Fill me with humility and courage to do the right thing quickly. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
3. Prayer for Courage to Lead Well
Lord, where I am a leader in my home, at work, my church or elsewhere, I ask you to help me lead well. Give me courage to lead in the right way and do the right things. Lord God, help me always to remember, that you go before me and you will be with me; you will never leave me nor forsake me. Help me to know I need never be afraid; I do not need to be discouraged even in the face of what seems dangerous or risky.In Jesus’ name, Amen.
4. Prayer for Courage instead of Comfort
Lord God, I admit it is often difficult to step outside my comfort zone. I get comfortable and I live in comfort. Forgive me for ignoring those who are not like me, but still need mercy and justice. Give me the courage to be like the Good Samaritan—to go out of my way to help others, to give of my time and money, but most of all to break down the barriers of prejudice. I ask you to show me the wrong opinions I have about other people. I ask you to show me one way today that I can be courageous enough to stand up for those unlike myself.In Jesus’ name, Amen.
