Be Strong and Courageous - Joshua 1

S - Joshua 1:This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
O - God has told Joshua to be strong and courageous instead of being afraid or discouraged.  He is to do this because God has promised to be with him wherever he go.
A - When I first read this, I thought that would be great to hear God say that to me.  But He has when he said fear not for I am with you until the end of the age and when He said that He will protect those that are His.  Even though these may not have been the audible voice of God like Joshua may have heard, these are still His word in the Bible and these truths are true today just as they were back when they were written because God is the same today as he was then and will continue to be the same in the future.  I can rest assured that God is with me and because of this I can be strong and courageous.
G - God, What an amazing promise that you have given me in always being with me.  I pray for your voice to be heard by me and to have Godly people speak into my life and dreams and visions.  I desperately need your wisdom and your discernment.  I know that without you I am aimlessly wandering around and hoping to do the right things but you are all-knowing and all-powerful and I ask you to speak into my life and direct me.  Help me today to overcome laziness and to live life with enthusiasm and vigor and to excel in every area of my life.  I pray for protection over my house, finances, vehicles, and my family today.  Bless us all and give complete healing to all of us.
