Taking Courage

Joshua 1-10
"Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." I struggle w/ both fear and discouragement. I don't like trying new things, going out of my comfort zone.
I get frustrated when I'm sick, when my kids are demanding, when people don't behave the way I expect them to/think they should.
My weak faith fails to grasp at times that my God is truly big enough to knock down walls w/o touching them, change the heart of a prostitute who reverences Him, and recognize a thief who while he claims to be on God's side is only on his own.
Help me be truthful, unselfish, and faithfully courageous. Help me see hearts, speak to hearts, experience change in my own.
God is w/ us.
