Moral Courage
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid."
— Joshua 1:9
God of courage,
Courage is not only physical. There is also moral courage: defending what is right even if it's not popular, telling uncomfortable truths, staying true to one's values under pressure.
Give me this moral courage. Not to stay silent in the face of injustice for fear of disturbing. Not to follow the crowd when it's going in the wrong direction. To stand firm for what is right.
May I be that voice that rises, even trembling, for what is true and good. Moral courage changes the world, one act at a time.
Amen.
