I quote:
for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline

There are moments in the life of every human person when we appear to lose faith in our ability to deal with an overwhelming difficulty weighing us down sufficiently for us to want to withdraw into a world filled with despair devoid of hope.
Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point. ~ C. S. Lewis
When we reach rock bottom with no where else to go there is the sudden awareness that we are being encouraged from within our very being to resist the temptation to surrender to our fears, to listen to the advice that Our Father pours into our conscious awareness guiding us how best to resolve that matter driving us to near collapse.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. ~ Proverbs 3:5-6
Divine inspiration leading us out of our darkness, into the light invites us to trust our intuitive self that we may then discover the solution to our troubles that had previously eluded us.
Faith in Our Father's intervention to assist us, is also our opportunity to prove our faithfulness by doing all that He asks of us.
He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God's providence to lead him aright\ Blaise Pascal
