Courage Quote by Timothy J. Keller
““God’s call to his people (then and now) is to combine spirituality with bravery. True discipleship is radical and risk-taking, because true disciples rely on God to keep his promises to bless them, and not on their own instincts, plans, or insurance policies.””

![“observed: “The petitions of true disciples are echoes (so to speak) of Christ’s words. As He has spoken so they speak. Their prayer is only some fragment of His teaching transformed into a supplication, and so it will necessarily be heard.”[50]” quote by Archie Parrish](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/3ea/archie-parrish-86868_disciples_observed-the-petitions-of-true-disciples_2742695.jpg)
