“The Holy Spirit Gives Me Courage to Stand Firm”
📖 “Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid… for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
—Joshua 1:9 (NKJV)
Fear is one of the strongest emotions you face as a teen. Fear of failure. Fear of rejection.
Fear of the future. Fear of disappointing others. Fear of standing out. Fear of doing what’s right when no one else is. But God does not want fear to direct your choices.
He wants faith to lead you. And the Holy Spirit gives you courage. Not reckless boldness, not fake confidence, but real, steady courage that comes from God’s presence.
The Holy Spirit gives you courage when:
• you face pressure to compromise
• you stand up for what’s right
• you feel anxious about the future
• you need to say “no” to temptation
• you walk through emotional pain or uncertainty
• you feel alone in your faith
• you face criticism or misunderstanding
• you need wisdom in hard situations
Courage doesn’t mean you never feel afraid. It means fear doesn’t control you.
The Holy Spirit fills your heart with strength, peace, and boldness that do not come from you—they come from Him. And when you choose courage,
you show the world that God is greater than fear.
Talk About It:
- What fear is trying to control your thoughts right now?
- How can the Holy Spirit help you walk in courage this week?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, give me courage. Help me stand strong in my faith,
face challenges with confidence, and trust You when fear tries to take over.
Fill me with boldness, strength, and peace.
Amen.
