"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding." - Proverbs 3:5 Fear has a way of making patience feel irresponsible.

Fear convinces the heart that action is better than trust, esp...  Read More

"When I am afraid, I put my trust in you." - Psalm 56:3 Fear has a way of shrinking everything except the problem in front of you.

He will not leave you or forsake you." - Deuteronomy 31:6 Following God will take you places that feel uncertain. He may lead you into situations that stretch your faith or require bold action.
