One thing that has surprised me about myself is how frustrated I can become due to the fear, grief, or suffering I am experiencing. I had convinced my heart and mind that I shouldn’t give into feeling those things because faith doesn’t operate like that. That’s not true, however. Faith isn’t fearless, and what matters in this struggle is how we address the fear we naturally experience. It’s an opportunity to trust the Lord with all that we are and all that we have.
