Prayer for Courage

Almighty God,

who gives strength to the weak 

and upholds those who might fall,

give me courage to do what is right, 

for those that trust in you have no need to fear.

Make be brave to face any danger 

which may now threaten me.

Give me the help that you have promised 

to those who ask it,

that I may overcome my fears 

and go bravely forward.

Fill me with courage,

that nothing which is my duty to do,

may be too hard for me.

Let me put my trust in your power and goodness.

Thank you my Lord,

Amen

Prayer for Wisdom, Courage and Justice

O God, help me to have in my life the virtues

Which You value and admire.

Give me wisdom always to know

What I ought to to do;

What I ought to say;

Where I ought to go;

Give me courage,

To do the right thing when it is difficult;

If need be, to be laughed at for my faith;

Never to be ashamed to show my loyalty to you.

Give me justice,

Always to be fair in thought, word and action;

Always to think of the rights of others

As much as of my own;

Never to be content when anyone is being

Unjustly treated;

Give me self-control,

Always to have my impulses, passions

And emotions under perfect control;

Never to be swept into doing things

For which I would be sorry;

Never to do anything which would hurt others,

Grieve those who love me,

Or bring shame to myself.

Hear this my prayer for your love’s sake, 

Amen.

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

Taking, as He did, this sinful world

as it is, not as I would have it;

Trusting that He will make all things right

if I surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life

and supremely happy with Him

Forever in the next.

Amen.
