Learn how to be strong and courageous in Christ exactly as Deuteronomy 31:6 teaches in scripture. Explore how God’s word reveals His will for you and His work in you.
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified, for the Lord your God goes with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you.” – Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV. Have you ever felt weak and fearful? I have. Today’s Biblical devotional for women is dedicated to exploring how to be strong and of good courage through Christ.
From my personal experience with God, I’ve learned that being strong isn’t possible in my own power. It’s only possible when I abide in Christ. I’ve also learned on my faith journey that being courageous doesn’t mean being fearless. It means that with my free will I intentionally mobilize and deploy my faith as an antidote to my fear. In this Biblical devotional for Christian women, I will share with you how to be strong and courageous by abiding in Christ. I will also pray for you if you stick around and allow me to lift you up to God through prayer.
Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and courageous Bible verse calls us out of our natural anxiety and doubt into God’s supernatural divine power of protection, provision, and promotion. But we must believe. Faith over fear! That’s the mindset we must adopt in order to be strong and courageous as Deuteronomy 31:6 teaches us to be as Christian women.
Let me tell you my story.
It is a story of how scared and insecure I was when God asked me to step out of my own power and into His so that I could do the good work He prepared in advance for me to do.
See, I knew what God said in Deuteronomy 31:6, only now I had to actually do it. When we have to do God’s word and not just hear or know it, things get very personal and scary.
That’s what happened to me.
And that’s why my entire Christian ministry Online Discipleship For Women is dedicated to helping you create a joyful life by embracing God’s word. In fact, this ministry is exactly what my story of being strong and courageous is all about. Here’s what happened to me and how God taught me to be strong and courageous as Deuteronomy 31:6 teaches us to be as Christian women.
I never could have imagined starting a ministry. Not only because I myself wasn’t even a Christian for most of my life but also because something like this would be the last thing on my mind. The typical things I was excited about for most of my adult life were sex, alcohol, exotic travel, night clubs, hairdos, and shopping.
I came to Christ in 2014, and God’s been working in my heart ever since, drawing me closer to Jesus one day at a time. You can read my testimony here. In the beginning, I believed in a Santa Claus kind of God: I’ll check the boxes for being nice, and God will give me a fairytale kind of perfect life. Well, that’s not how things turned out for me… Instead of having a perfect life with God, I was attacked by Satan.
The devil almost destroyed my faith and hope by intentionally manipulating me into suicide. You can read what happened to me in the blog post called “How Satan Came at M

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
