Guided by Grace: A Young Leader’s Prayer for Courage and Strength
Heavenly Father,
I come before You with a heart open and eager to be led by Your grace. I am embarking on a journey that requires courage and strength, and I seek Your presence to guide my every step. You are my refuge and rock, and I lean on You in this time of growth and challenge.
Lord, grant me the courage of David when he faced Goliath (1 Samuel 17), and the wisdom of Solomon as I make decisions that impact those around me. Help me stand firm in my faith, even when the path is rocky and the way unclear. Fill me with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), so I may lead with calm and clarity.
In moments of doubt, remind me of Your promise that, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13). Empower me to rise above fear and embrace the opportunities before me with a heart full of hope and confidence.
Guide my words and actions so they may reflect Your love and compassion. Allow me to empathize with those I lead, understanding their struggles and joys, and offer them encouragement that uplifts their spirit.
Strengthen me physically, Lord, that I may have the energy to persevere through long days and challenging tasks. And emotionally, cradle me with Your comfort, soothing any anxieties that may arise.
Thank You, Father, for the grace that lights my way even in the darkest times. I am grateful for Your unending support and for the promise that You are always with me (Matthew 28:20).
With a heart full of gratitude, I trust in Your perfect plan and surrender my path to You.
Amen.
