When our relationship with him is close, courage comes naturally because we trust God to protect us
What matters is we have a God who can always lift us out of the pit
Negative thoughts about ourselves can be debilitating and discouraging
God's thoughts are higher than and completely different from ours
Through prayer, we can give God our stressed, afraid, and burdened hearts and find relief.
God commands us not to give into our fear and reminds us that he will never fail us.
