Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

 “How many loaves do you have?”he asked. “Go and see.”

They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.” 

Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

“No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”

Lord God my Father,

Allow your Peace to release a courage from me that serves only you. Allow me to believe and have confidence that whatever you want to do through me will be done. Keep me from shame and show me how to keep my eyes focused on you alone.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
