Topic: The Relation Between Faith And Taking Charge

How are faith and taking charge related? You must have faith to begin to take charge of what you consider to be the impossible, the improbable, the unlikely, and the unknown. Taking charge of what you already control, know, own, or possess is not such a big problem. However, when you try to take charge of what you consider to be the unknown, there can be a risk, often a huge risk. With risk comes fear and anxiety. With fear and anxiety comes the desire for inaction, withdrawal, or running away. However, our faith in God is like a shield. Our faith in God is like a shield for us when we have to take a risk. Our faith may never make our fear and anxiety go away, but our faith can give us the courage to act in spite of our fears. Our faith can give us the courage to do what we are afraid of doing by taking charge of ourselves, even if we cannot take charge of what might be happening outside of ourselves in terms what we perceive to be the impossible, the improbable, the unlikely, and the unknown.
