We so often feel fearful of new challenges because we don't know if we will have what it takes to get through them. And then we try anyway, and we discover we have more strength than we ever knew. How many times will I have to make this same discovery before I start trusting that God will give me everything I need?
I have a visual prayer that helps me when I don't feel up to a task. I stop and breathe and then I imagine roots growing from me down into the earth. The roots tap into the deep groundwater of God's mighty power. They bring up to me all the energy, all the confidence, all the determination I need.
As Paul says in his letter to the church in Philippi, "I can do all things through him who strengthens me."
