The story that follows is of a young man reflecting on his journey of courage, resilience, and faith. The request made three days before was simple: guidance in discerning God’s will amidst worldly distractions. He had no idea how profoundly his life would shift, nor how deeply he would come to rely on the strength he found in Christ alone. Since, he has begun to unravel the wisdom hidden in his experience, understanding that true courage was not the absence of fear, but the ability to move forward, in the Lord, despite it.
