Shared Prayer

Dear Lord You are holy and faithful, and Your presence is our help and our peace. For it is written that we are to be strong and of a good courage, and not give ourselves to fear, because You go with us, and You will not fail us or forsake us. In places of pressure, grief, and uncertainty, bring our hearts under Your will, and teach us to walk in the courage Your word requires. Drive out trembling thoughts, strengthen weak hands, and keep us from unbelief. We say in faith, if God be for us, who can be against us. Thank You that we do not face life alone. Thank You for holding us up, and for keeping Your promise when our strength feels small. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
