I quote:
Jesus said to him in reply, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man replied to him, "Master, I want to see."Jesus told him, "Go your way; your faith has saved you." Immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way.

The old adage faith can move mountains has inspired many people to overcome their fear of failing, by simply ignoring the so called rational self's call to give up; to call it a day that has not ended well.
Our feelings should never be ignored when our aspirations are driving us in a particular directions. Feelings reflect our emotional response to the thought that we cannot succeed, for our objective is beyond our ability. Even our lack of patience encourages us to yield to our lack of confidence, whispering into our ear that we cannot measure up to the task ahead calculated to grow our self confidence, and trust in Our Father's call never to surrender to our fear of not being able to stay the course.
Notwithstanding the influence of our feelings on our choices, there is the awareness that we are being swayed by confidence building counsel guiding us out of our fears, into embracing the challenges waiting for us each day we rise from our bed, provided for our growth into the robust, and more secure person reflecting Our Father's strength granted to us His reward for following His enlightening path through our life's journey.
Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
end
