The Stone

Fear often tightens its grip when I try to avoid it. Growth begins when I become willing to face what I have been resisting.

Ripple One: Practical

Today, I will identify one fear I have been avoiding. I will not wait for it to disappear. I will take a small step forward and ask for help if needed. Courage grows through action, not avoidance.

Ripple Two: Spiritual

As I bring my fears before the Father, the Holy Spirit gives strength to move forward. Following Christ, who stepped toward suffering rather than away from it, I learn that fear loses power when it is faced with trust. Often, as I step forward, I become aware of others who need strength too.

Prayer

Father, give me willingness to face what I fear. Through Your Spirit, lead me forward with courage and help me walk in the strength and compassion of Your Son. Amen.
