A Prayer For Courage To Climb Life’s Mountains With God

Trusting God with our biggest obstacles builds the courage we need to move forward, a key focus of Karin Hadadan’s prayer. Likewise, Rebecca Simon’s Finding God Every Day offers ways to grow your trust in Him one small moment at a time.

We all have moments when the challenges ahead feel too big for us to handle, and doubt starts to speak louder than faith. The moment that happens, we’re reminded to shift our focus back to God and trust that even a small faith can carry us through what feels impossible. Take a quiet moment to pray along.

Dear God,

I come to you today because there is a mountain in front of me that I fear I can never climb. The voice of doubt has grown louder, yet I am now in a place where I must place my faith in You. Please help me deepen my belief in what you are capable of, even if my faith feels as small as a mustard seed.

I want to grow in trust and dependence on you, so that the burden of climbing this mountain isn’t solely on me. Thank you for your power and patience as I develop my faith. Thank you for being by my side as I climb, and for shifting my focus from the mountain in front of me to resting solely on you. I believe that with you, nothing is impossible, even when the obstacles seem overwhelming.

Amen.
