Courage :)

The dictionary defines courage as “doing something that frightens me”. Courage is not the absence of fear; courage is the facing of fear.

We all have fears that we have to face and God can help us face them. Perhaps it is as simple as finding a new job, meeting strangers, being a good parent, driving in a storm… Or perhaps it is even more intense, serving in the armed forces or as a police officer, serving as a firefighter, dieing…

In all of these cases, God can help us face our fears AND conquer them.

The first step to conquering our fear(s) is simply Trusting God. How? We just make a decision. It’s that simple.

And then we do what we need to do 🙂

It is only by stepping out in faith that our Trust in God grows. It’s by seeing that we really are okay, that we learn to trust our Lord.

A word on the outcome of Trusting God. When Jesus was here on earth, He did not promise that life would always be easy. In fact, He told us that in this world we “would have troubles”! But He also said, “I have overcome the world”! Our “outcome” in Trusting God may not always lead to an easy path, but it will Always Lead To A Good One 🙂
