Courage to Face The Unknowns

Writer's picture: Katerina LeaKaterina Lea


I don't always have courage.


I don't always feel brave enough to face all of the twists and turns and uncertainty of living with chronic illness. 


There have been moments of feeling like I have reached my limit. I told myself at eighteen, that I wasn't sure how I would make it through the first five years. But, I did. And I'm going to continue facing the next day and the next. It's not easy though. There have been moments of feeling too scared about the future. How will I ever make it on my own if I can barely get out of bed? How will I ever have a family someday if my body is too weak? And will I continue serving others in suffering when my pain is progresesing?


Last month, while listening to some of the Diamonds conference I was reminded that I don't have to be afraid of doing it alone. Courage doesn't come from my strength. This is true as my body is physically and mentally weary.


God is still God. He is the One in control of the future. He doesn't expect me to face all of the unknowns of chronic illness alone. Because that would be out of His character, He is a kind and loving God and never changes even when my health challenges take hold of so much of my life. When I tell myself I have to be brave enough to make it through another storm, I just need to remember who is there with me. The one who is leading me through this life has it in His hands.





I want to encourage you this week by sharing that even if you don’t have enough courage to face this storm, turn to one that does. He will never let you go. You are not alone.
