Novena for Courage – Day 9: Gratitude
Join in praying the Novena for Courage to seek God's strength and divine courage to face life's challenges.
Today's Focus: Gratitude
On this ninth day of the Novena for Courage, we pray for gratitude in God's plan and His ability to grant us courage. We focus particularly on trusting in God's rewards and ask God to help us grow in gratitude and to trust in His divine wisdom and His promise to always provide us with the courage we need.
Prayer for Day 9
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Lord God, we thank You and praise You for the many ways You bless us and sustain us in our lives. We ask You to grant the grace of courage to all who are in need of it.
You often call us to practice courage in our lives, and it is sometimes very difficult for us to do so. But You always reward us when we choose to live virtuously out of love for You.
We ask You to bless and assist all who are in need of courage, and we particularly ask You today to help all those who must practice courage to have faith that You will reward them!
Help us to do all we can to be Your faithful disciples each day of our lives. Help us to always put love of You above all else, no matter how difficult it might be.
And I especially ask in this novena (mention your intentions here).
Lord, hear our prayers!
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Reflection for Today
Today we pray for gratitude in God's plan and His ability to grant us courage in all situations. Gratitude is the foundation of our relationship with God and the key to finding strength in challenging circumstances.
God is our Father, who loves us with a perfect love and is always ready to help us. As our Father, He knows exactly what we need and when we need it, especially when it comes to courage.
The focus on trusting in God's rewards reminds us that courage is not just about physical bravery, but about moral and spiritual strength. God calls us to be courageous in many different ways throughout our lives.
As we continue this novena, let us ask God to increase our gratitude in Him. Let us ask Him to help us turn to Him with confidence in every need, knowing that He will always help us and provide us with the courage we need.
Remember that God's courage is not limited by time or circumstance. He is perpetually ready to help us, and we can trust completely in His divine care.
