Definition of Courage:(N) strength of mind to carry on in spite of danger -the moral courage to speak out against injustice when no one else will.

“The strength of mind” …Lord prepare my mind with your word, so as I face the past I will know Your truth and the freedom that it comes with.

“In spite of danger” .. Lord as I tread into dark waters to know the truth… set me free from fear and depression… Let me feel the comfort of your spirit as I began this difficult journey. Guard the corridors of my heart. Protect me from the enemy… for loosing this battle would be his delight.

“the moral courage to speak out against injustice when no one else will” Lord help me to speak… give sound to the little voice inside who needs to bring the pain out of the darkness and into the light. No one wants to talk about stuff like this, no one wants to hear about it or deal with it. And despite my family hiding this secret for so long, Lord give me your strength to stay courageous and speak against what my grandfather did to me… to stand up to my mom and not let her take my joy away.

Let me soar above sorrow, above abuse, above fear,
Lord, let me rise on your promises of love and hope.
Be the center of my life
Be the place where I fix my eyes.
You hold everything together
Draw near into your arms
with strength hold me together.
Lift my weak and weary body to rest in you… my only hope.
Cove me.
…in the stillness you are near.
Comfort me
and teach me Lord to know your peace.
I come to the cross Lord let me see Your love.

I lift my eyes to heaven
I wrap my life around Your life
and with out You none of this would be possible
~Amen
