God Bless My Child with Courage

Oh, Lord, bless my son with courage!   Men's hearts have melted with fear in the absence of this strength.

"Be strong and courageous.  Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9).  Lord, bless my son with the same assurance of Your presence.

Fear comes in the front of victory.   David’s courageous act of defeating the giant was with the understanding that he had a giant of a God with him!

Develop that kind of bravery within my child, ready to stand in the presence of his God, for his God.  Position him on this understanding that You are for Him.

Your instruction to us is to be of good courage, but only after You already stored within us this gutsy spirit to use. You command and supply.

Prompt my child to activate his daring heart without hesitation to accomplish all You set before him.   Grant him boldness to speak the heart of Your Word, to stand when others scurry from the battle.  Bless him with a Joshua and David kind of courage.

May the fearlessness of Your Spirit manifest in him and make of him that man of valor who knows his God.

You have blessed us with everything we need to walk this life.  You have secured us.  Thank you for Your faithfulness that continually supplies grace.

In the Name of Jesus---Amen
