Use the word COURAGE as a guide: C is for COMPASSION. O is for OTHERS. U is for UNDERSTANDING. R is for RESOLUTE. A is for ACTION. G is for GRIT. E is for ENCOURAGEMENT.

- Lord, may our eyes be open to the hurt and pain all around us. Give us a heart of COMPASSION like you, for you are compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
- Help us to look not only to our own interests but also to the interests of OTHERS who are silently hurting.
- Give us a heart of UNDERSTANDING even towards things we have never experienced.
- Help us to see people as you do and ACT on what you are calling us to do.
- And, even as we face discouragement or disagreement from others around us that we love and care for, help us to be RESOLUTE in fixing our eyes on you, walking forward in faith to what you are calling us to do. Give us the opportunity and desire to act on behalf of those who feel downtrodden, broken, and unseen.
- Give us the GRIT, like Queen Esther, to step forward in a time of uncertainty, to boldly pray, boldly speak, boldly act, and boldly hope for burdens of injustice to be lifted.
- Give us a spirit of ENCOURAGEMENT to those who are weary in doing good. Help us not to look the other way, but to step forward and be the hands that lift the hands of those who are tired.
