A prayer to carry
Father, I am afraid of what this step may cost. Keep my hope in Jesus, who died and rose again. Give me courage to speak truth with love, receive correction, and obey Your Word. Guard me from pride and the need to prove myself. Help me act with wisdom, seek support where I need it, and remain faithful even when I cannot control the response. Amen.
