DAY 7: COURAGE

Prayer Topic: Ask for courage to face challenges and follow God's calling.

Devotional: Courage is the inner strength that allows us to face challenges and follow God's calling. In Joshua 1:9 (NIV), God encourages Joshua, saying, "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."

As we fast and pray, let's ask for the courage to face challenges with unwavering faith. Let's trust that God's presence goes with us, empowering us to fulfill His purposes. One of my favorite verses in all of the Bible is Romans 8:37, where Paul tells us that we are more than conquerers through Jesus! That should give you courage today that God has destined you to conquer, not to be defeated.

Quote: "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear." – Franklin D. Roosevelt

Reflection 1: Reflect on situations in your life where fear or discouragement has held you back. How can you draw upon God's strength and courage to overcome these obstacles?

Reflection 2: Consider moments when you've experienced God's presence and courage in challenging times. How can these experiences inspire your faith during this fast?
