Today I pray for courage
I am weak
Life's trials have sapped me of my strength
And I feel my resolve ebbing away.
Mistakes from the past tower in front of me
Mocking, mocking.
How can I get forward when
Shame
Fear
Doubt
Block my path?
I must face my past
With unfailing courage that can only be given
By God
My Father and Creator.
I pray that I can face my mountains
Block out their thundering voices
And fight
For freedom
For truth.
No ordinary man could dream of the courage I now seek
But I serve an extraordinary God
And because I am a believer
Dreams can become reality.
So I pray, Lord
Standing before life's mountains and valleys
I pray for courage.
