A Prayer for Courage

The conversation you're avoiding, the boundary you need to set — this prayer is your fuel.

God, I've been swallowing my truth to keep the peace and it's eating me alive. Give me courage to speak honestly. Courage to set boundaries without guilt. Courage to disappoint people if it means being faithful to myself and to You. Bold, kind, immovable courage.

Courage isn't loud — sometimes it's the quiet decision to finally speak your truth. Amen.

When to pray this

Courage is not the absence of fear — it is doing the thing while the fear is still talking. Usually there is one specific conversation, decision, or phone call you have been circling for days. Pray this, then go do that one.
