Lord, I ask for a renewal of the courage I felt this morning. I can feel myself retreat into fear today. I’ve laid down and have barely gotten up after being so alive this morning. Please Lord, give me the strength to be brave and get up. In the face of uncertainty, I know I can do at least some small good. I know I must not be overwhelmed by the mass of my problems, or the persecution by my abusers, the the uncertainty of a day with no clear direction. I know I must stand up and do something, however small, because it is better than doing nothing. Lord, I know lying down and doing nothing is a rebuke of faith - because if I had faith strong enough, I would get up and do the little that I can right now. To lie down and hide all day shows no faith in a better life. To lie down and give up shows no faith in your protection. To get up and do what can be done despite all of my fears is faith. Lord, help me practice faith today.
