Courage to Step Forward

Hope in New Beginnings

Day 5

“For I am about to do something new.” — Isaiah 43:19

New beginnings often feel intimidating because they require movement. Staying still can feel safer—but growth demands courage. God doesn’t promise that the next step will be easy; He promises that it will not be taken alone.

If fear has been holding you back, remember: courage is not the absence of fear—it’s obedience in spite of it. God supplies strength for each step forward, not all at once, but exactly when you need it.

A prayer for your day

God, give me courage to move forward even when I feel unsure. I trust You to meet me on the way.


Put it in action

Identify one step you’ve been delaying and take it today—no matter how small.


Share the moment

God supplies strength for every step.
