Joshua 1:9 — Take The Next Step, God Is Already There Recorded live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Houston • Lagos • Singapore • Wellington • Tokyo COURAGE • FAITH • FORWARD MOVEMENT Christian prayer for courage today • trusting God with the next step • prayer for uncertain seasons • moving forward with faith in Christ Joshua 1:9 (NIV) “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” There are times when the hardest part of any journey is not the destination. It is taking the next step. We can see possibilities ahead, yet uncertainty keeps us standing still. Questions begin to surface. What if things do not work out? What if I fail? What if I make the wrong decision? Fear has a way of convincing us that staying where we are feels safer than moving forward. Many people are standing at that place today. Joshua understood what it meant to face an uncertain future. A new chapter was beginning, responsibilities were increasing, and challenges lay ahead. Yet God’s message to him was not centred on guarantees about circumstances. It was centred on God’s presence. The Lord would go with him wherever he travelled. The confidence was not in Joshua’s ability but in God’s faithfulness. That same promise speaks to us today. We do not need to know every detail about the road ahead before we take the next step. We do not need complete certainty before we trust God. Faith often moves forward while questions still remain. Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is choosing to trust God in the middle of it. Father, thank You that You know the path before me. Thank You that nothing about my future surprises You and that Your faithfulness remains constant. Jesus, help me take the next step You are placing before me. When fear tries to hold me back, remind me that You are already ahead of me. Give me courage to trust You more deeply and confidence to follow where You lead. Holy Spirit, fill me with strength, wisdom, and peace today. Help me move forward with faith rather than hesitation. Teach me to trust God’s presence more than my fears and God’s promises more than my doubts. Across the world, from Houston to Lagos, from Singapore to Wellington and Tokyo, may hesitant hearts discover courage, fearful minds find confidence, and every listener experience the assurance that God walks beside them. Jesús, ayúdame a dar el siguiente paso con fe. Jesus, ajuda-me a dar o próximo passo com fé. Jesus, tulungan Mo akong sumulong nang may pananampalataya. Father, thank You that You go before me. Amen.

carry you. Let's divulge and jump straight into the greatest book the world has ever heard. We're in Joshua chapter 1, verse 9. This is the title of the morning prayer. Take the next step.

Take The Next Step Prayer

SPEAKER_00

God is already there. Father, will you help us to breathe? Lord, if it's our weekend, Lord, if it's a day off or we're back in the rhythm of life, Holy Spirit, I pray that you will help us to take the next step. Lord, whatever that looks like, through the power of the Word of God, I ask you that you help us to take a next step. Lord, that we won't go backwards, but we will go forward. So Lord, right now we are praying for courage. We are praying for forward movement. And Lord, we're looking for confidence. Lord, we believe that the rhythm of God is over our lives, that we are anointed. Lord, whether it's a midday week, whether it's the weekend, Lord, I thank you for the power of prayer. Because, Lord, all things are possible to those who believe. And Lord, I pray at this hour that we will find confidence today. Lord, that we will learn to trust in Jesus Christ for the next step. Lord, if we're moving house, if we're moving job, Lord, if our life is taking a serious turnaround, Lord, we believe that the love of God is with every footstep that we make. And Lord, we thank you that the steps of a good person are ordered by the

Breaking Fear And Monotony

SPEAKER_00

Lord. And as we pray through the beautiful book of Joshua, chapter 1, verse 9, the Bible says, Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged. For the Lord thy God is with you wherever you go. Father, we thank you that we are on a journey. And Lord, that you never leave us nor forsake us. Lord, the questions we have, the unanswered areas of life. Lord, help us to not work everything out. Lord, we believe that a new chapter is unfolding. Lord, we thank you that the responsibilities may be increasing, but there is power in the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, will you help us to leave the challenges with you? Lord, help us to let go and to let God. We believe, Lord, that we are never going to be afraid again. Lord, we are calling the things that are not as though they are. But Lord, help us not to get caught in the rhythm of monotony. Help us not to bounce with the same bounce day in, day out. Lord, I pray that we will walk by faith. And the Spirit of the

Strength Peace And Destiny Steps

SPEAKER_00

Lord is over each and every one of us. And Lord, as we pray through, Lord, we believe, dear God, that you are Jehovah Jairah, Jehovah Nisi, Jehovah Shalom. And from the battlefield to the boardroom, to the field of life, Lord, you're calling us to be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged. For the Lord thy God is with you wherever you go. Strengthen our body. Strengthen our heart. Strengthen our mind right now. And Lord, we thank you that we have a future, that there is a way forward, and his name is Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit, fill us with strength today. Fill us with wisdom and fill us with peace. Lord, we believe that we are walking in the promises of God. And they are yes and amen. But Lord, as we stretch out live from London, England, all the way to Houston, Lagos, Singapore, all the way to Wellington, Tokyo, all the way to New Zealand, Lord, we are believing that the power of the Holy Spirit is in our tomorrow. And Lord, there is already a destiny for each and every one of us. And Lord, we thank you that we are walking forward, Lord God, by the power of destiny steps, that we are living by faith, that shackles are gone, chains are cut free. Lord, that there is freedom in Jesus Christ. So Lord, give us courage, help us to move forward, and give us the confidence to trust in you in every corner. I pray right now from the four winds of the glorious heavens above, that you will breathe over our nation, over our lands, over our hearts. I thank you that nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ
