You don’t have to wait for the fear to subside. Often fear is obliterated by the very act of deciding and doing.
The more you can act in spite of yourself — you’ll suddenly find that none of your worst fears are all that bad. The sky doesn’t fall on you and your pants don’t spontaneously disappear (if that’s happened, I’m so sorry). True confidence is just going for it anyway. Emotions are a good fuel at best and unreliable at their worst. Your emotions are real, yes, but they can’t determine your decisions. As determination wins, it gets easier every time.

Great reminder. I think this is what courage is all about. It’s not the absence of fear, but the willingness to face that fear anyway, knowing and trusting that God understands and is on our side.
