When the going gets tough, when we don't know how long the pain will last, and when we are exhausted and struggling to stay afloat, it is important to envision our destination. Knowing where we want to go will get us through. In times of crisis and panic, it is natural to fear; but even fearing, we can choose to trust God, His greatness, and His promises to care for us. We can be afraid, or we can believe.
