Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother ### in prayer. Lord, we ask that You grant him the courage he needs to face the challenges and trials in his life. Just as You emboldened Joshua to lead the Israelites with the words, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go", we pray that ### feels Your presence and strength in every situation.
Lord, we remember the Apostle Paul, who prayed for boldness to proclaim Your Word without fear. We ask that You fill ### with the same resolute courage, so he may stand firm in his faith and be a light to those around him. Help him to trust in Your promises and to know that "The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?".
Father, we pray that ### will be able to say, as Paul did, "I can do all this through Him who gives me strength". May he find comfort and assurance in Your Word, and may Your Holy Spirit guide him and give him the boldness to face each day with unwavering faith.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
