Panic Problems:
Fear creeps in — uninvited but familiar.
Heart racing. Hands cold. Thoughts scattered.
It feels like the walls are closing in.
But fear isn’t the enemy.
It’s the proving ground of courage.
It’s where warriors are made.
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid… for the Lord your God goes with you.”
— Deuteronomy 31:6
You don’t need to feel brave to be brave.
Panic wants to paralyze you — but faith calls you forward.
One breath. One step. One truth at a time.
God hasn’t given you a spirit of fear.
You already carry the Spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. (2 Tim. 1:7)
So stand up.
Even if you’re shaking.

The Wilderness:
You’ve honored the rituals.
You’ve memorized the verses.
You’ve shown up when it was hard.
But faith isn’t just repetition.
It’s movement and growth.
“By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out… not knowing where he was going.”
— Hebrews 11:8
Obedience isn’t always tidy.
It doesn’t always come with a bulletin or a building.
It rarely looks like staying where it’s safe.
Sometimes obedience means leaving the comfort of what you’ve always known.
-
Leaving systems that once served you.
-
Letting go of the need to have it all figured out.
“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing…”
— Isaiah 43:18–19
God’s not asking you to forget the foundation.
He’s asking if you’re willing to build forward.
So, step outside.
Not away from Him — but toward Him.
