If we are going to do anything great for God, and if we are determined never to give up on our dreams, we have to take chances. We have to be courageous. When we face situations that threaten or intimidate us, we need to pray for boldness any a courageous Spirit. Feeling fear is never a problem as long as we have more courage than fear!
The Spirit of fear will always try to keep us from going forward. For centuries, the enemy has used fear to try to stop people, and He is not going to change His strategy now. But thankfully, we can defeat fear. We are more than conquerors through Him who love us (Romans 8.37). Courage is not the absence of fear. It is pressing forward while feeling fear is present. When you feel afraid, ask God to strengthen you, be thankful that He will, and move forward in His strength.
Prayer of Thanks
Thank you, Lord God, for the gift of boldness. I am grateful for the dreams you have given me and the determination to pursue them. I choose to never to give up on the dreams you have placed in my heart.
