Be strong, courageous, and firm; fear not... for it is the Lord your God Who goes with you; He will not fail you or forsake you. - Deuteronomy 31:6
Isn't that powerful? God knows we need strength. We have the tendency to lack courage when a fearful situation comes along. When we are nervous and our knees become wobbly, we fear. We tremble, sweat, turn red, and shake. Trust me, I know the feeling. Sometimes it gets so bad, I cry in fear. The truth is, fear is nothing but a feeling that causes certain manifestations, or events. Fear is all mental. As quoted from After Earth starring Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith, Will quotes, "Danger is very real, but fear is a choice." This is absolutely true. The situations we face are inevitable. They do not change. How we decide to face them is the challenge. God does not promise that we will go into every situation with strength. He knows we will have trouble! The thing is, even when afraid, we must press on. Overcome your fear by doing it. Knowing that courage conquered fear is incredible because all that strength came from God. So go ahead, do it afraid! I know you can!
