“But my righteous one will live by faith.
And I take no pleasure
in the one who shrinks back.”
And I take no pleasure
in the one who shrinks back.”
But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved. (Hebrews 10:38,39)
Almighty God,
I have spoken in many of my prayers for these children on the subject to courage. I do so because it is clear that is what you expect of us. You forgive many things but you have no tolerance for cowardice. These children will fail in many ways during their lives. They will try to serve you and will sometimes fail. They will succumb to temptation and sin, but you forgive. But the one thing I pray they are never guilty of is cowardice in service to you. May they be ever bold and courageous, never shrinking back in fear. May they readily join in the charge against the gates of hell, fully equipped in your armor and following your lead, never backing down.
Amen
