The word that the Lord placed on my heart for 2020 is courage. In 2019 I learned how to seek joy from the Lord. It was a very difficult year for me, but the Lord worked in my life in very tangible ways, and for that, I am forever grateful.
I am nearing my final semester of college, and it hasn’t fully set in that I will be done in 5 short months. I will be graduating with a major in theology and a minor in media production. I have no idea where I will wind up after graduation, or even what I’ll be doing.
That being said, this next year is going to bring a lot of changes and I will be taking a lot of big steps forward in my life. There are so many upcoming unknowns in 2020 that honestly scare the crap out of me. But I want to step out in trust, boldness, and complete hope in the Lord’s plan for my life. I want to rid myself of anxiety and fear and step up to be who God made me to be.
Lord, give me courage. Help me to live a courageous life grounded in You. Help me to not be afraid of the unknown. Help me to walk fearlessly with You and for You. Give me the courage to live up to my full potential. Help me to not let silly things stand in the way of doing what needs to be done – but most especially, don’t let me stand in the way of myself. Lord, give me courage to live as you have taught me to live.
