Dinnertime DevotionsShembull

Strong and Brave

What does it feel like to stand up in front of a class to read something out loud, or talk to a group of people about a project you just finished? Do you get a little nervous? Do you get really nervous? Don’t worry, many people are not comfortable talking in front of a large group.

The next time you are facing something that makes you nervous, you can remember that you have a big strong God standing right next to you. He can give you the courage to do anything. Take a deep breath and relax! God is on your side.

Prayer: God, please help us to overcome our fears by remembering that you are always with us. Thank you for the courage you give us. We need your strength to help us get through every challenging moment we face

Activity: Have everyone write down one thing they need courage for this week. Remember to pray for each request, and come back to this page later to see how God answered your prayers.
