God Gave Me Reasons To Be Courageous

Courage is not just for the “big events” in life. It’s more about staying true to yourself and taking action when you feel something valuable is at stake.

It's easy to be scared and unsure when you're new to something. The excitement of being a part of something bigger can leave you feeling like you're not in control, but the truth is that God is with you every step of the way. He wants you to be brave, even when it doesn't feel possible.

When you’re going through something, you have to be courageous. You can’t let the world crush you and make you afraid because then you’ll never get out of it. Yes, God is with us but sometimes we have to be brave and stand up for what is right and righteous in this world.

Psalms 23:4 ''Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.''

It's time to stop worrying about the little things and start living life to the fullest. Here are some of the reasons to be courageous with God's help:

1) God is good. He’s always around us, even when we can’t see him.

When you know God’s Word is true and He can provide all you need, you don’t have to worry about everything. I know a few people who have been through it and find that peace in knowing they can always lean on God.

Faith is believing in a supernatural, external force that brings about positive change. The best way to be prepared for anything is by remembering that God is good and that he loves you. He's already got your back...

2) Trusting God is the best decision you can make for your life.

The best way to make God feel good is to trust Him. There is no greater joy than knowing that He has a plan and purpose for your life, even if it doesn't always seem that way.

You only need to remember, God knows what he’s doing. Everything will work out in the end, no matter how hard it seems right now.

Whatever you are going through right now, God has a plan for you. Trust Him and not yourself.

3) Be Grateful regardless of the situation

It's hard to feel thankful when you're feeling down, but God loves it when we are thankful. If you're having a hard time being grateful for what you have, try making a list of all the things you have to be thankful for.

Just be thankful for what Jesus has done, and don't focus on the challenges you have to face on the way.

He is always by your side, and he will never leave you or forsake you. Remember that he has a purpose for you, and trust in him to get you where he wants you to be.

Through God’s grace, we will be able to take on whatever life brings us. It is through our courage that we can push past the boundaries God has placed in front of us and claim them for ourselves.

If you've been through tough times, Jesus has been there. He can help you stay strong—even when the world thinks it's hopeless. 

Do Not Be Anxious, ''Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?'' Matthew 6:25.
