The bravest thing you can do when you are not brave is to profess courage and act accordingly.

Corra Harris

The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next.

Mignon McLaughlin
 

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Winston Churchill

Be strong and courageous, and do the work.  Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you.  He will not fail you or forsake you.

1 Chronicles 28:20

Dear Lord, Thank you for the promise of Your word.  Help me to clean up the garden of my life. Keep me motivated when I am afraid or discouraged. When things are difficult and I am fatigued, keep me refreshed and committed. Remind me not to reach for tomorrow’s load today, but to stay focused on the special tasks of this day. Teach me how, for this moment, this hour, this day, to rest in the peace, protection, wisdom and guidance of your presence and to let you guide me.  Amen.
