The Shift from Fear to Courage

I started to pray, not for the debt to vanish, but for the strength to face it.

I asked God to walk with me, to give me wisdom and courage, and slowly,

I felt something shift. I wasn't just a frightened sheep waiting for the

wolves to attack. I was being guided, protected and comforted. God's rod and staff, his protection and

guidance became real to me. I realized I could face the collectors, not as a victim,

but as someone with dignity and hope. And you know what? The fear began to fade.
