Courage Prayer for Sunday, February 14

Dear Lord, on a day when many celebrate love,I pray for the courage to love. I know that love is not for the faint of heart, and yet in the face of life's challenges, my heart often faints! Build up my ability to love not just in feeling, but in action, and to use that love to temper both my fear in facing difficulties, and my shying away from responsibility, responsibilities often necessary to get back on my feet and back in balance with you, myself, and others. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Courage Prayer for Friday, January 22

Dear Lord Jesus: You faced the unknown and fear in so many ways--people with horrible illnesses seeking healing, the hungry, the homeless, the angry, even those possessed of demons. You often found yourself in the midst of angry crowds or among hostile religious leaders seeking to "test" you. Lord, I seek your help. My courage is waning in the face of a pandemic, the personal challenges it has caused, and the national anxiety it has created and fed. Prompt me regularly to carve out the time in my busy existence to "come away and pray" like you did to both restore your courage and your strength to face the "storm." In your most precious name I pray. Amen.                                                                                                              --Pastor Jeff

Courage Prayer for Thursday, February 11

Lord of love and Creator of life, we often fear the unknown.  Hear the quivering of our voices as we cry out to you.  In the unknowns of our short lives, we find ourselves unable to shake off the anxieties of this life.  Give us the strength, the wisdom, and the fortitude to accept your infinitude within finiteness of our lives.  In Christ’s name we pray.  Amen.   - Pastor Chad

Courage Prayer for Saturday, February 13

 Lord,  I need your courage to resist my deep urge to smooth over holy tension ~ in myself, and in your church.  I need your courage to step out of my conversational comfort zones.  Jesus, you are resurrection and life. Call me out when I settle for less than the fullness of life you came to bring us all. In your strong name, Amen. -Pastor Karen
