Praying scripture is of immense value. If you are struggling with courage – take heart and pray God’s Word.
“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage ; I have overcome the world.” [John 16:33]

“The LORD said, ‘Surely I will set you free for purposes of good.’” [Jeremiah 15:11]
“Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; Let them also that hate him flee before him. 2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: As wax melteth before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God. 3 But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God: Yea, let them rejoice with gladness. 4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: Cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts; His name is Jehovah; and exult ye before him. 5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, Is God in his holy habitation. 6 God setteth the solitary in families: He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a parched land.” [Psalm 68]
“He who walks in integrity walks securely, But he who preverts his ways will be found out.” [Prov 10:9]
“My eyes are continually toward the LORD, For He will pluck my feet out of the net.” [Ps 25:15]
“For the choir director: A psalm of David, regarding the time the Philistines seized him in Gath. To be sung to the tune “Dove on Distant Oaks.” O God, have mercy on me. The enemy troops press in on me. My foes attack me all day long. 2 My slanderers hound me constantly, and many are boldly attacking me. 3 But when I am afraid, I put my trust in you. 4 O God, I praise your word. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? 5 They are always twisting what I say; they spend their days plotting ways to harm me. 6 They come together to spy on me – watching my every step, eager to kill me. 7 Don’t let them get away with their wickedness; in your anger, O God, throw them to the ground. 8 You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.” [Psalm 56]
“…This I know, that God is for me.” [Ps 56:9b]
“ have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.” [1 John 2:14]
“I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. 14 Wait for the LORD ; Be strong and let your heart take courage ; Yes, wait for the LORD.” [psalm 27:13-14]
