June 21: The Lord Will Be Your Confidence

Scripture:
“For the Lord will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being caught.”
— Proverbs 3:26 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. God Himself becomes our strength and boldness.
  2. His protection secures our steps against hidden dangers.
  3. Confidence in God frees us from paralyzing fear.
  4. Walking with God keeps us steady and sure.
  5. Trusting Him prevents spiritual traps and missteps.

Poem: Held by Confidence

You build courage under my skin.
You plant strength beneath my ribs.
You steady the ground where I step.
You surround the way with your light.
You teach me to stand without fear.

The road waits with unseen snares.
The shadows hide broken stones.
But your hand guards my ankles.
Your voice calls me to rise.
Your presence paves the way ahead.

Confidence wears your name today.
It wraps around my worn heart.
It shields my soul from trembling.
It sings louder than my doubts.
It breathes peace into my chest.

I will not shrink from this hour.
I will not run from this climb.
You are my boldness in the storm.
You are my shield in the unknown.
You are the strength beneath my feet.

Today I walk in your sure hands.
Today I trust the road you bless.
Today I lean into your courage.
You are the God who keeps me whole.
You are the confidence I carry.

Daily Prayer:
“Lord, be my confidence today and keep my steps firm and faithful.”
