Audio Version
- Joshua 1:9 – “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”
Fear is one of the enemy’s weapons. It paralyzes potential, weakens resolve, and clouds your judgment. In our opening scripture, we see an antidote to fear; courage. God’s command to Joshua was not a mere suggestion—it was a divine instruction to move forward assured of His presence.
Likewise, God has not abandoned you to face life’s battles alone. His Word is your assurance that no matter where you are or what you are dealing with, He is with you. So, you can step out in faith assured of his presence.
Whether it is stepping out in faith for a new job, trusting God through a health challenge, dealing with family pressures, or rebuilding after failure—fear has no right to dictate your response. God is with you in the interview room. He’s present in the doctor’s office or when you are figuring out how to make ends meet. His presence is your strength. And when you truly know He is with you, you won’t crumble—you’ll rise with boldness and confidence.
So, refuse to bow to fear. Instead, declare over yourself: “I am courageous. I am not overwhelmed. I am not defeated. The Lord is with me, and I will not fear!” Let courage lead you forward. God has got you—everywhere, every time. Hallelujah!

PRAYER FOR A NATION
CURACAO
Curacao faces significant challenges. Despite its strong economy, driven by tourism and oil refining, the island struggles with widespread misunderstanding of the Gospel message. Many Christians are nominal or superstitious, and marginal sects are growing. Bible literacy and discipleship are key to renewing the Christian population. The island’s history of religious freedom has not translated to a deep understanding of Christianity. As a result, many people lack a personal relationship with God. This spiritual void hinders the nation’s overall well-being
