Heroes of Faith

Be Strong and Courageous

Welcome to Sabbath Week! A time for rest, rejuvenation and renewing of our commitment to our faith.

For the remainder of this term, staff and students will be focused on learning about Joshua, a man who had the courage to love God, even in challenging times.

Joshua always sought strength through his faith and in his relationship with God. He had the courage to ‘put God first’ which in turn, gave him the strength and courage to face the challenges of each day.

A Prayer for Courage

Lord,

I’m afraid.

I don’t feel bold or courageous today.

Help me remember that

bravery isn’t the absence of fear;

it’s doing the right thing no matter what.

Give me a courageous heart.

I know that You will be with me.

I am not alone.

You are greater than any enemy or

obstacle I face.

Help me to take a stand, to not give up,

to push on, and to step forward today

knowing that You are trustworthy

and You are my strength

In Jesus’ name,

Amen

May you all have a peaceful week with your family.
