For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind. — 2 Timothy 1:7
Comment
Change takes courage — whether it’s breaking an old pattern, beginning a new habit, or speaking honestly about something that’s been left unsaid. It’s tempting to keep things as they are, even when they’re not helping.
But love grows when we choose courage over comfort. When we risk a new conversation, try something different, or gently challenge ourselves or each other, we create space for hope to unfold. Small changes often bring the biggest shifts.
Reflection
Is there a change, however small, that would bless your relationship if you had the courage to begin?
Prayer suggestion (as a couple)
Ask God for boldness where you’ve previously felt stuck or afraid.
Prayer suggestion (for another couple)
Pray for a couple who need encouragement to make a change — that they would feel strengthened and supported.
Final quote
“Courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision that something else matters more.”
