~ Courage ~

Through the strength and wisdom of God within me, I am courageous.

Often the media is focused on the problems of the day or warnings of trouble to come. In the world at-large, there appear to be huge hurdles to surmount.

Yet I put fear aside when I turn my attention--mind, heart, and soul--toward the reality of the spirit of God in my life and in the world. Spirit is present within me and every person, every country and situation.

Through the strength and wisdom of God within me and expressing as me, I am courageous. In faith-filled ways, I follow inner guidance. I resolve challenges with enthusiasm and accept opportunities with heartfelt appreciation.

Trusting in God, I give myself wholeheartedly to life, and I am blessed.

"I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!"--John 16:33

Some very good thoughts today. We cannot let the problems of the world or every day life for that matter get us down. God is always there helping us each step of the way, if we let Hime.

Without my faith in the LORD I would have no courage. I don't know how those without God manage.

Lovely post.

Peace,

Peace, I am beginning to wonder what that is, but I know, I just have to find it again. Lucy
