Trust in God’s Presence: Be Courageous Today

Written By Lettie Henley

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." — Joshua 1:9

God’s words to Joshua echo through the ages: “Be strong and courageous”, because He is with us.

In life’s uncertain moments, whether facing new challenges, transitions, or fears, the enemy often tries to whisper, “You can’t do this,” or “You’re not enough.” But God’s declaration is clear: You are empowered because I am with you.

His presence is not a momentary feeling; it’s an unbreakable promise. When God is with us, fear must bow, and courage rises. His strength in us silences doubts and builds unshakable confidence that we can step forward in faith.

You don’t have to rely solely on your own strength. Jesus promised, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). His presence is the reason we can face every storm, every fear, every uncertainty.

Declare: “The Lord my God is with me. I will be strong and courageous because He is by my side.” Repeat this promise every time fear tries to creep in. Trust that His active presence strengthens you for all that lies ahead.

Prayer:

Father, thank You for Your unshakable presence and Your command to be strong and courageous. Help me to trust You in every situation, knowing You are with me. Fill my heart with Your peace, and let Your Spirit empower me to walk boldly in faith, today and every day. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
