Book cover for Do It Scared: Finding the Courage to Face Your Fears, Overcome Adversity, and Create a Life You Love
action is truly the only antidote to fear, which means that the more you practice taking action—even small steps in the right direction—the easier it will become to take larger steps and more dramatic action.

“Be Thou my battle shield, sword for the fight; Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight; Thou my soul’s shelter, Thou my high tower: Raise Thou me heavenward, O power of my power…. Thou and Thou only, first in my heart; High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art. “BE THOU MY VISION,” Traditional Irish hymn [PD]”
Kurt Bjorklund, Prayers for Today: A Yearlong Journey of Contemplative Prayer

Lettie B. Cowman
“When nothing on which to lean remains, When strongholds crumble to dust; When nothing is sure but that God still reigns, That is just the time to trust.”
L.B. Cowman, Streams in the Desert: 366 Daily Devotional Readings

“no matter how much time we pray, there are hours in the day that we all spend with other people, and I think we could make a pretty strong case that it matters who those people are. I think in every life, one priority is finding one or more seasoned Christians with whom to spend some serious time.”
Linda McCullough Moore, The Book of Not So Common Prayer: A New Way to Pray, A New Way to Live

“I think the devil must dearly love short prayers, the quick and easy kind where we can dip one toe in, tell ourselves we did it, and console each other: “Prayer is hard.” We shake our heads and say, “It’s not easy,” as if to say God isn’t always there, when truth be told, we haven’t stuck around long enough to find out whether he is or not.”
Linda McCullough Moore, The Book of Not So Common Prayer: A New Way to Pray, A New Way to Live

“Much time spent with God is the secret of all successful praying. Prayer which is felt as a mighty force is the mediate or immediate product of much time spent with God. Our short prayers owe their point and efficiency to the long ones that have preceded them. The short prevailing prayer cannot be prayed by one who has not prevailed with God in a mightier struggle of long continuance.”
Jennifer Kennedy Dean, He Restores My Soul
