Courageous

The only way we’ll ever stand
Is on our knees with lifted hands
Make us courageous
Lord, make us courageous-Casting Crowns


I want to be strong and courageous. I pray to God asking if he would give me courage and give me boldness to use stand up for what is right. I have not problem with speaking what i feel God wants me to say,but actually stepping out and saying it to those people is hard. When  I was reading Joshua, " being strong and courageous" shows up a lot and I know God was definitely speaking to me saying i truly need to stand up.  Today was a big step for me in this problem. I know that if I just speak and say what i need to say I could make a difference. "So Lord make me courageous. I know that You are with me and you will give me words to speak." I need to get beyond my self and walk in God's strength and do what He has me to do. Lord Jesus Lead me. So this topic also reminds me of another song God totally revealed Himself to me  though.
It is Born For This by Mandisa from The Story cd:
     There’s a time to hold your tongue, time to keep your head down
There’s a time but it’s not now
Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited
Sometimes you gotta speak when you don’t have the floor
Sometimes you gotta move, when everybody else says you should stay
No way, no, not today
You gotta ask, if you want an answer
Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd
Long before your heart could run the risk
You were born for this
