A) Theme: Strength and Bravery

B) Passage: Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with

thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. (Philippians 4:6 NARBE)

C) Reflection:

In our lives we are tested by people and things daily. We need strength and
bravery to overcome these challenges in our lives. If we ask God for help, He can
help us with our problems. This can make our lives so much easier. No matter
what the problem is, God can help us, and all we must do is ask. We should worry
less about little things, because God is always there to aid us.

D) Prayer:

Dear Almighty God and Creator of Everything, we pray to You for guidance and
help in our lives and others’ lives. We ask for strength and bravery in times of
need. Please assist us when we are in distress and need strength to stay true to
Your message from Your Son, Jesus Christ.

We pray to You, Our Savior, for strength for those who need it most. We pray for
those who need the strength to do something to help someone else. We pray for
those who need the strength to help themselves. We pray for those who need the
bravery to ask You, our Lord, for help.

Dear Gracious Lord, help us to overcome the challenges and problems in our
lives. Please help us to grow stronger in our faith so that we may become closer
with You. Our Father, please help our friends and family to also grow stronger in
their faith with You.

Thank You, for all that You do for us. Please continue to give us the strength we
need, and please have mercy when we become weak. We strive to be brave in
Your name. We ask this in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Savior of
humanity. Amen.
