Picture yourself having a late-night talk with God about your future.
You say, “Lord, I want discipline.”
God replies, “Then I’ll put distractions all around you, so you’ll learn to choose your purpose over your comfort.”
You say, “Lord, I want courage.”
God replies, “Then I’ll let fear stand in your path, so you’ll learn courage is walking forward even when you tremble.”
You say, “That sounds like a fight every day.”
God replies, “Discipline keeps you steady. Courage gets you through.”
