Fearless lion quotes

Lions are courageous animals

Lions are magnificent creatures that have long been symbols of strength and courage. They are known for their willingness to fight when needed for their food and to protect their territory, mates, pride, etc. What are you willing to fight for? Are you willing to stand up for things when others are not? Are you willing to protect and defend those who can’t defend themselves?

By no means am I endorsing physical fighting. I am saying to have a lion attitude. Be courages and be willing to stand up for God even if it’s unpopular. Be willing to stand up for others. Be fearless when facing different trials. Always remember that God is with you. The Lord is safe to trust. I encourage you to keep seeking the Lord in prayer.
