"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than one's fear. The timid presume it is lack of fear that allows the brave to act when the timid do not. But to take action when one is not afraid is easy. To refrain when afraid is also easy. To take action regardless of fear is brave."-Ambrose Redmoon
I was not courageous tonight. I let my fear hold me back.
God I trust that your plans for me are bigger than all my worries, doubts and fears. From this day forward may I live in the strength and boldness that you provide. May I love despite my own failures and the failures of others. May I commit with my whole heart to serving you before my own will and nothing else. I will not worship others peoples opinions or my selfish desires. May I become intimate with you in giving myself over in surrender, being vulnerable and open before you and recieving the relationship you intended to have with me.
Amen.

Hi Tess, it's 1:12am. I wanted to check my e-mail, but somehow I ended up here instead of the Hotmail page. This is so weird. Maybe it's God because I just finished praying with Kevin and Deus. I read your last post, it's good. I like this: "But to take action when one is not afraid is easy. To refrain when afraid is also easy. To take action regardless of fear is brave..."
