Courage Over Fear

Many of us are carrying questions right now—questions that ask us to choose courage over fear. Decisions that feel heavy. Circumstances that feel uncertain. If that feels close to home, hear this word of reassurance: it’s going to be okay.

Not because the situation is simple. Not because the path ahead will be painless. But because God is with you.

Scripture reminds us again and again that nothing is too hard for God. That doesn’t mean life won’t stretch us or challenge us. It means we are never facing those challenges alone. God is not asking us to have all the answers or to see the whole picture. God is simply inviting us to take the next faithful step—one step grounded in trust, obedience, and hope.

And when the weight feels too heavy for words, there is always prayer. Sometimes the most honest prayer we can offer is the one Jesus prayed in the garden: “Not my will, but yours be done.” It is not a prayer of defeat, but of trust—placing our lives in God’s hands.

That prayer carried Jesus through the cross. And by God’s grace, it can carry us through whatever lies ahead as well.
