Finding Courage in Uncertainty

When everything feels uncertain, it can be challenging to find the courage to take the next step. This is a common experience for many people, and it's essential to understand that it's not a sign of weakness, but rather a normal part of the journey of faith. The Bible teaches us that faith is not the absence of fear, but rather the presence of courage in the face of uncertainty.

To find courage in uncertainty, we need to adopt a proactive approach to handling failure. This involves getting proactive about a new strategy to handle failure, praying and asking God to help us react by faith to any future failures, and proactively applying our new strategy to the next failure. We also need to determine what the first step is to take, count the cost, and figure out the problems or consequences from taking that step. Praying again and asking God to help and guide each step we take is also crucial. Furthermore, we need to look to God, build our hope on Him, and not be deterred by external circumstances. As Jesus said, "Look to Me, for salvation is yours the moment you look."

In addition to these principles, we need to remember that God's assurance to us is that He is always with us, and that He has a plan to prosper us, not to harm us. When we feel fearful or uncertain, we need to face those feelings head-on and not let them dictate our actions. We need to determine what is truly important, true, and good, and focus on those things rather than things that feel urgent but are ungodly. By doing so, we can find the courage to take the next step, even in the midst of uncertainty. As the Bible says, "God tells you no. Or He tells you to wait. What you want doesn't fit within His will because the timing is wrong." When we understand how to walk by faith, God's "no" or "wait" can become a catalyst for growth and trust in Him.
