A Prayer to Be Courageous Like Jesus
By: Alisha Headley

“If the world hated you, take into account that it hated me first.” – John 15:18

Most of our fears come from the enemy. He likes to instill worry into us so we are going to keep caught, unable to maneuver ahead within the guarantees God has for us. Devil needs us to be unable to dwell out our calling. For our enemy roams the earth, “prowling round like a roaring lion simply searching for somebody to devour” (I Peter 5:8).

It takes bravery to acknowledge your fears and proceed shifting the place God is main you. Jesus was courageous. He needed to face adversity, accusation, and affliction as he shared the reality of the Gospel. He left his household to unfold the excellent news of the Kingdom of God. He was courageous when everybody round him hated him, leaving him and betraying him.

At present’s Bible verse reminds us that we are going to be hated as we’re “set aside and chosen” (Deuteronomy 14:2) and as we’re referred to as to be his disciples. However Jesus exhibits us what bravery appears to be like like. We will persevere by our fears, the assaults of the enemy, and opposition from anybody who hates us and denies us simply, as Jesus persevered.

1 John 4:4 encourages with the reality of “larger is He who’s in me, than he who’s of the world.” The world could hate us. The world could spit on us for our religion, decide us for our values, and criticize us for our choices in following Christ. However we all know {that a} man within the flesh, our Savior was courageous sufficient to stroll this earth earlier than us. And the identical Spirit He had, we now have inside us, in order that us too, will be courageous like Jesus.

Let’s step out, maybe with worry on each nook, however trusting that God has gone earlier than us. We will observe in His footsteps and be courageous simply as He was.

Pricey God,

Thanks for leaving us with the Bible, which is “God-breathed” (2 Timothy 3:16) instantly by you. Thanks that we now have numerous tales to learn within the Bible of Jesus being courageous. Thanks for sending your Son, who cleared the path as our best instance of what it means to advance the Kingdom even when we’re hated for it.

We ask that you’d give us braveness to step out in religion in what you’ve referred to as us to do. We ask that you’d encourage us alongside this journey of being a selected disciple for you. We ask that when these round us query us or discourage us, that you’d give us confidence in you. Remind us that our energy comes from you, and your “energy is made good in our weak spot, that once we are weak, we’re made robust by you.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)

We’d like you and might’t do that with out you. Thanks that we don’t should be robust as a result of that’s your job. Our job is to depend on your energy to get us from one activity to the following. We ask in your steerage and route and thanks for eternal provision.

In Jesus’ Title,

Amen
