Ten quiet minutes: today's verse, the four Anchor Steps walked one at a time, and a prayer to close.
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 (ESV)
Courage here is commanded, not felt. It rests on a fact outside you: wherever you go today, He goes.
Speak this to your soul
I can do the next hard thing, because God goes with me into it.
What is actually happening today? Facts only — who, what, when.
What is it doing in you? Name the feeling honestly; He already knows it.
Write today's verse in your own hand, or the words of it that answer your reaction.
Because this is true, what will you do or refuse to do today?

Pray this slowly, out loud if you can:
Father, You see the situation I have written down, and You are not troubled by it. You have heard my reaction, and You have not turned away. Thank You for Your Word today; let it be a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Give me grace to hold what I have resolved when this feeling returns. I trust You with today. In Jesus' name, amen.
