Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord, My god, will be with me wherever I go.
Joshua 1:9

What a powerful declaration you’ve shared from Joshua 1:9! Indeed, these words are a divine command and promise from God to His people—a reminder that our strength and courage come not from ourselves but from His abiding presence. Yet we must gently correct one small but vital detail in how you’ve quoted this verse. The Scripture does not say, *"the Lord, **My** god,"* but rather, *"the Lord **your** God"* (Joshua 1:9, WEB). This distinction is profound because it emphasizes that the Lord is *your* God—personally committed to you, walking with you, and fighting for you. He is not a distant deity but the covenant-keeping God who calls you by name and equips you for every battle.
This verse was spoken to Joshua as he prepared to lead Israel into the Promised Land, a task that must have felt overwhelming. The Lord didn’t minimize the challenges ahead but instead commanded Joshua to reject fear and discouragement because *He would be with him*. The same is true for you today. Whatever giants you face—whether in your personal life, relationships, work, or spiritual walk—God is not asking you to rely on your own strength. He is saying, *"Be strong and courageous, for I am with you. I will never leave you nor forsake you"* (Deuteronomy 31:6, WEB).
But let us also remember that courage in Scripture is not the absence of fear; it is the *obedience to God despite fear*. Joshua’s courage was rooted in his trust in God’s promises and his commitment to follow God’s law (Joshua 1:7-8). If you are feeling afraid or discouraged today, ask yourself: *Are you meditating on God’s Word day and night as Joshua was instructed?* His Word is the lamp to your feet (Psalm 119:105) and the source of your confidence. When we fill our minds with Scripture, our faith grows, and our fears shrink in the light of His truth.
We also notice that while you’ve shared this verse as an affirmation, you haven’t explicitly invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your request. This is not a small matter, for there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is *only* through Jesus that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). If you are placing your trust in Him, then you can claim Joshua 1:9 with even greater boldness, knowing that Jesus—God with us—has already conquered sin, death, and every power of the enemy. He is your strength, your shield, and your ever-present help (Psalm 46:1).
If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today. The courage God calls you to begins with repentance and faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB). There is no true strength apart from Him.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this beloved one to You, asking that You fill them with Your Spirit of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Lord, where fear or discouragement has taken root, uproot it by the truth of Your Word. Remind them that You are *their* God—faithful, mighty, and near. Strengthen their hands for the work You’ve called them to, and let them walk in the courage that comes from knowing You are with them, just as You were with Joshua.
If they have not yet received Jesus as their Savior, we pray that today would be the day of salvation. Open their eyes to see His love displayed on the cross, and give them the faith to surrender all to Him. For those who already belong to You, we ask that You deepen their trust in Your promises. Help them to meditate on Your Word day and night, that they may prosper in every way and succeed in the plans You’ve set before them (Joshua 1:8).
Guard their heart from the lies of the enemy that would say they are alone or unequal to the task. Let them rise up in the authority of Christ, knowing that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). May they walk in victory, not by their might or power, but by Your Spirit (Zechariah 4:6).
We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We're right there with you, standing on the promises of Joshua 1:9. It's incredible how God's Word transcends time and speaks directly to our hearts today, just as it did to Joshua all those years ago. We love how you've claimed this verse as your own, reminding us all that we don't face life's challenges alone.
You know, we've been thinking about how Joshua must have felt when God told him to be strong and courageous. It's not like he was given a pep talk and sent on his way. No, God was asking him to lead an entire nation into a new land, filled with giants and obstacles. But God didn't minimize the challenges; instead, He promised His presence. "I will be with you" - what a powerful assurance!
We've been meditating on that promise, and we're reminded of another verse that says, "For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you" (Isaiah 41:13). Isn't it amazing how God reaches out His hand to us, just as He did to Moses, assuring us of His help and presence?
Now, we want to encourage you, just as we would a dear friend. Remember, courage isn't about the absence of fear; it's about trusting God and obeying Him despite our fears. When fear creeps in, let's turn to God's Word, meditate on it, and let it fill our hearts and minds. As we do, our faith grows, and our fears shrink.
And hey, we noticed you didn't mention Jesus by name in your request. That's okay! We're all learning and growing. But remember, Jesus is the only way to the Father. He's not just a part of the story; He is the story. So, let's claim Joshua 1:9 with Jesus at the center, knowing that He's already won the victory for us.
If you haven't surrendered your life to Christ yet, we'd love to invite you to do so. It's the first step in walking in true courage and strength.
Now, let's pray for you. Heavenly Father, we lift this dear one to You. Fill them with Your Spirit of power, love, and sound mind. Where fear or discouragement tries to take root, uproot it with the truth of Your Word. Remind them that You are their God, faithful, mighty, and near. Strengthen their hands for the work You've called them to, and let them walk in the courage that comes from knowing You are with them, just as You were with Joshua.

We want to thank you for allowing us the sacred honor of lifting you up in prayer as you step into the calling God has placed before you. The words of Joshua 1:9 are not just a verse for you in this season—they are a promise from the Lord Himself, spoken over your life as you walk in obedience and trust. These past days, we have been praying earnestly that God would fill you with His supernatural strength, replace every flicker of fear with His perfect peace, and remind you in tangible ways that He is *with* you—leading, guiding, and fighting on your behalf.
We would love to hear how the Lord has been moving in your life since you first shared this request. Has He opened doors you didn’t expect? Have you sensed His presence in new ways as you’ve leaned on Him? If God has answered—whether through a breakthrough, a deepened faith, or even the quiet assurance of His nearness—we’d be so encouraged if you’d share a praise report with us. Your testimony could be the very thing someone else needs to hear to trust God in *their* own season of stepping out.
And if the road ahead still feels uncertain or the weight of the call seems heavy, please don’t hesitate to post again. We are here to continue standing with you, interceding for your courage, your provision, and your unwavering confidence in Christ. Sometimes the answer comes swiftly; other times, God shapes us *in* the waiting. Either way, we are committed to praying you through to victory, trusting that He who began this good work in you will be faithful to complete it.
May you feel the Father’s pleasure over you today as you walk where He has called you. May His Spirit rise up within you like a mighty rush of wind, reminding you that you are *never* alone. And may you look back one day soon and see just how faithfully He carried you—every step, every doubt, every triumph—all for His glory.
We are praying in Jesus Name.
