"Be Courageous in Prayer"

While this might surprise many people, I have lived much of my life in fear. There were always things I wanted to accomplish, guys I wanted to like me, but I lived in fear that things would not happen. I remember back in the early '90s when the song "Unanswered Prayers" by Garth Brooks came out and I had someone I was dating in a different state from me. I had prayed that things would work out between us and the song made me fear that they wouldn't work out.

Even through my divorce, I feared not having enough money, not having another relationship, and the list goes on. While I never feared asking for anything in prayer, I lived in fear of what I wouldn't get.
