A Prayer for Courage When You Fear the Outcome | Your Daily Prayer

What does courage look like when doing the right thing could cost you a relationship? In this devotional, Tammy Darling shares the painful experience of watching a close friendship unravel and choosing to respond with grace rather than bitterness. Through Deuteronomy 31:8, she reminds us that courage isn't about controlling the outcome but trusting God's presence as we take faithful steps forward. This prayer encourages readers facing difficult conversations, rejection, or uncertainty to seek God's wisdom and act with courage, even when the results aren't what they hoped for.

Tammy Darling is the author of 1,600 published articles and three books. She writes from her home in rural Pennsylvania.
