This is an important question because we believe God wants all His people to face the challenges of life with strength and courage. For example, as I read the biblical story of Joshua, I hear the same God who spoke to Joshua speaking to me, saying “Walter, I know you have many fears, just as all people do, but if you will face your fears, and trust me like Joshua did, I will give you the confidence to be strong and courageous. You can refuse to be terrified and discouraged because I will be with you, just like I was with Joshua and Moses.”
