I’ve always loved Deuteronomy 31:6. It’s one of the very first verses I memorized in the Bible: “Be strong and of good courage, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not fail or forsake you.“
This morning, someone asked me what I needed the most courage for today. I love this question! It reminds me of how, when I ran a Loving Conversations workshop and asked participants to think of a great question to ask their partners, one woman asked her husband, “What are you most afraid of in your life right now?” He loved this question.
Where do you need courage today?
What are you most afraid of?
I love these questions because they invite our friends to unburden themselves. We can talk about our fears, strengthen our hearts, and take courage that we are together, with God, and able to do harder and harder things.
