BIBLE TEXT : Isaiah 41:7-14
Courage is the audacity of hope , to move ahead despite opposition/confusion . Exodus 14 :13 & 14.
(1 Kings 17: 3 ) If you stay in a place where God has left , you will lose Divine supply .
Life can be tough without a helper , but God is saying we shouldn't be afraid. 2 chronicles 20:20 .
If Christ dwells in you , he em-bolden you in the place of confusion/ situations and circumstances that want to pull you down .
(Corinthians 10: 3-6) One of the reasons why the devil leverage on us is because of of our disobedience (John 14:23) God dwells with people who give total obedience
2 Timothy 1:7 Don't yield to fear and negative confessions.
Hence , we should check our lives/homes and do away with any token from the devil that doesn't glorify God in our lives so the devil will stop resisting us when we pray .

Fear of Failure and what ifs ; (what if I fail , What if my marriage scatters ) Hebrews 11:6 . Romans 14:22 .
Whatever we do outside Faith is a sin and will definitely lead to fear .
