The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, the spies saw the Nephilim and felt like grasshoppers. Ten of them let fear win. Only Joshua and Caleb remembered that You are bigger. Most days, I am like those ten spies. I see the size of my problems and forget the size of the One who leads me. The hard things in my life are real. But You are real too. The places You have called me to go, I can take in Your strength. Make me like Caleb at my next hard choice. Help me see with eyes that trust You, not eyes that shrink back. Amen.
