• When you are in a place of fear, everything in you will want to run, but I challenge you to run to it. It will build your confident trust in Him when you see that the very place that fear is, is the same place that fear will be conquered.

When you let God lead, you might find yourself in some rather scary places, but remain steadfast in Him and confident that He will bring provision and fight on your behalf. It’s in those times that miracles happen and nations change.
