Chapter 31 · Section Seven, Stage 5: Prowess
Be Strong and Courageous
You can't develop courage at a distance from the things that require it.
The question this chapter asks
What would you do this month if the fear were not deciding?
Practice
15 minutes
Courage this week
Think of the last thing that frightened you and write it down, then write what courage would look like in that exact situation this week. Put the first step of that courage on your calendar.
For the group
What is the need you keep walking past? Name it. Then ask the group: "What would it look like if I moved toward it this week?"
For the leader
"This week" makes it concrete. Not someday. This week. Ask for a report next meeting.
If your group prays together
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
