A spirit of courage where God is calling me.

"Fear does not mean you are a coward. It only means that you need to be willing to feel the fear and do what you need to do anyway."

I guess I never really wanted to admit it, but I am a bit afraid of what is ahead of me. God has laid out a path before me, and it is very clear to me what I am to do, but I know it is going to take courage to do these things. I will be dedicating so much of my time and energy for God's work. That really excites me, but at the same time it makes me a bit anxious. I don't want to mess up, or lack the bravery to do what God is telling me to do. I want to live my life for God's glory, and if that means sacrifices and standing up for what is right when no one else will, then I will do it. And I will do it with God's help. :)

I must be courageous, and go where God is leading me. It frightens me a bit, but I know that God is with me and the Holy Spirit is providing me with the power to accomplish all I am called to do. I just want to be brave enough and spiritually grounded enough to give it my all.

"For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline." - 2 Timothy 1:7 (NASB)
