"Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.
For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.
And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I [am] with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee. " (Jeremia 1: 17-19)

LORD, may you give me Your Word to speak and the courage to stand, not to be dismayed and to speak. May you give me Your strength, and joy, trust and faith. May you make my mind and body work and my senses respond when it is needed.
