The children will find the quotation easier to memorize if they understand it well. It is recommended, therefore, that you spend some time discussing the meaning of the words and phrases with them. To introduce the quotation that the children will commit to memory today, you can use the statement below. To have courage means to stand for what is right, to defend those who need our help, even if this will put us in danger. It takes courage to go to unknown places, to face new situations, to do things that others before us have never done. We draw courage from our love of God and our desire to please Him above all others. To help us remember that we should face every situation in life with courage, let us memorize the following quotation: “The source of courage and power is the promotion of the Word of God, and steadfastness in His Love.” listen HERE or HERE.
