Have you ever felt like you're facing something so big and scary that you wish you could just hide under the covers and pretend it's not happening? I have. Whether it was starting over in a new city where I didn't know anyone, walking into a hospital room for test results that could change everything, or taking on a responsibility that felt way too big for my shoulders.
There's something about those moments that makes you feel incredibly small and incredibly alone. Like you're standing at the edge of a cliff with no safety net, wondering how you're supposed to take the next step when your knees are shaking and your heart is pounding.
I used to think courage meant not being afraid. But I've learned that real courage is being terrified and moving forward anyway - especially when you realize you're not moving forward alone.
That's when Deuteronomy 31:6 became my battle cry:
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
