“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
We all go through times when we feel afraid. Sometimes fear helps us by alerting us to something dangerous and keeping us safe. But many times our fear is simply because something is out of our control. How do we face life's uncertainties? How do we stare at situations that seem overwhelming and find courage and strength? We put our trust in God. We are all going to feel fearful at times, but when we can take that fear and lay it at the feet of God, we can find strength in Him. He will give you peace, wisdom, patience, courage, and hope like never before. Sometimes for me it requires giving my fears to Him daily, even hourly. Prayer and scripture are great ways to find courage in Him. Allow God to help you conquer your fears and give you everything you need to face the future with courage.
“But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.””
