       Sometimes God places something on our hearts that he wants us to do for someone else, and fear can often rob us of accomplishing the task. But when we take a step of faith, and trust in God, when can see positive results. Often times Satan will get us to think of the worst possible outcome to a situation we face, and we will believe his lie and will not move forward in faith. Satan is full of lies, and frequently will make us think of possible outcomes that, mostly likely, aren’t going to happen. And this prevents us from doing what we should do. But we need to stop believing his lies, and believe that God will be on our side when we take a step of faith. This is how we see good things get done. Remember, Paul told us in Romans chapter 8, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (8:31, ESV). We cannot let the fear of being wrong prevent us from doing right. Trying to be controlling of our situation is not exercising faith in the situation. We need to exercise hope, which defeats any discouraging thoughts.
