Three things you can do to ensure your faith is greater than your fear of disappointment.
No matter what problems you may face, God has a way to make them purposeful. God helps us change our perspective so that we see problems as opportunities.
Difficulties reveal who you really are. What are you like when you are not close to God? How do you tend to respond when something difficult happens?
How do you respond when you go through storms in life? Emotional storms? Do they drive you closer to God and make you stronger in your convictions? Or do storms leave you shaken and weakened in your faith?
