Sanctus Real — Confidence (Live at Sweetwater)
Two-time GRAMMY nominated and GMA Dove Award-winning Christian rock band Sanctus Real performs an acoustic version of their song "Confidence" live at Sweetwa...
No doubt you display confidence in crises large and small and you demonstrate courage in spite of fear as well as self-discipline. Those who depend on you for leadership, advice and support appreciate your steadfastness. Hopefully humility and transparency are foundational to your confidence. I expect your confidence in the LORD and HIS Word does you credit and is worthy of emulation. 'Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.’ [Hebrews 10:34-36 ESV] my brother-in-Christ SGT Herbert Bollum.
I pray for moral courage to stand up for what is noble and right, perseverance and steadfastness in our demonstration of faith for each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads or listens to this prayer dear LORD. Thank YOU for allowing us measures of freedom while ensuring we never stray too far from the narrow walk of faith. You guide us step-by-step and prepare us for what YOU know we will go through in the future. YOU are the ever-present help for each of us. ‘But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one. And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things that we command. May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ. [2 Thessalians 3:3-5 ESV]
I lift the mentally ill including those afflicted with PTSD, the listless, the discouraged, those devoid of hope, and those grieving significant loss to YOU LORD. I pray that YOU bless each one with an ability to rest peacefully without disturbing dreams. Infuse hope into the hopeless. Infuse a measure of peace into the listless and discouraged. Enable those grieving to grieve completely to the point that negative emotion and fear is stripped from memories leaving pleasant and joyful emotions linked to the memories. I thank you LORD for renewing our minds regularly and enabling us to focus on what is good, noble, acceptable and true. 'Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.' [Romans 12:2 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Friday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Saturday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good “R.E.D. Friday!” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader from the "Elsa Tropical Storm" as it passes by the Greater Boston Area... Raining very hard now and expected to do so for the next 4-6 hours then gradually slow down... Elsa will be long gone by tomorrow morning! However, I continue to “Remember Everyone Deployed” until they return home once again!
Today is: “Confidence Day!” Why Not?
"Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy." Norman Vincent Peale
"No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it." — Andrew Carnegie
"Human spirit is the ability to face the uncertainty of the future with curiosity and optimism. It is the belief that problems can be solved, differences resolved. It is a type of confidence. And it is fragile. It can be blackened by fear and superstition." - Bernard Beckett
"Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate." — Henry David Thoreau
"He can inspire a group only if he himself is filled with confidence and hope of success." — Floyd V. Filson
The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant. — Max DePree
It is quite true that...
“Nothing can replace the confidence that a leader displays when the ‘Fit Hits the Shan!’ Walk the walk – Talk the talk with confidence in everything you do as a leader.”— COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
