"Reaching into his shepherd’s bag and taking out a stone, he hurled it with his sling and hit the Philistine in the forehead. The stone sank in, and Goliath stumbled and fell face down on the ground." 1 Samuel 17:49 (NLT)

David didn’t just win his battle—he broke the spirit of fear off a whole army. Sometimes your boldness in taking your shot isn’t just about you. It’s about the people watching you—friends, family, coworkers, even strangers—who need to see someone walk in courage so they can take their shot.

When you take your shot, others find the strength to take theirs.

What fear might God be asking you to confront—not just for you, but for the sake of others?

Declaration Prayer:

Lord Jesus, we declare that You are the giver of courage, and that sometimes courage allows us to drop the stone—to take the step, speak the truth, trust You again. Let our obedience be a ripple that sets others free. We declare and decree this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
