Lord, the road ahead looks rough for me. I don't know where to go or what to do. Give me the strength to face what lies ahead head-on, and not fall short of the mark of the prize of the calling that You have for me. Help me to not be a coward, but to rely on the courage and confidence found in You.

You are the author of my future. If You are for me, then who can be against me? Why should I worry about the future when You are my future? I make a commitment to put my foundation in You. You are the source of my strength.

Hold my hand as I dive into the future. Guide me in all Your truth. Remind me of what Your Word says, so that I can know who I am in You. Even though I may not completely know what lies ahead, thank You for not giving me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. I put my hope in You. Thank You, Jesus.
