Prayer for Strength and Courage in Difficult Times

Almighty Lord, your power and might are great. You showed your faithfulness to your people time and again. Help me to remember you are faithful to me, too. Though the battles seem like mine to fight, I am claiming your promises over the trials in my life. These battles are yours, Lord, and I’m handing them to you. I trust that when I step out and take up my position, you will go before me and win the battle. Fill me your strength and courage to face the difficult times ahead. I will not be discouraged or afraid. I will trust in you. Amen.

2 Chronicles 20:15-17 (NIV)

He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s. Tomorrow march down against them. They will be climbing up by the Pass of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the Desert of Jeruel. You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.’”
