Running a successful business takes time, money, experience, and knowledge. You have to be ready to deal with the every day issues that can make or break your enterprise. The best businesses have a good plan or strategy and the best managers have learned to stick with those plans, even when there are slumps or unavoidable problems. There is one prinicple that is always needed to run a successful business, faith. If the business owner doesn't believe in his business venture or in his business plans, he will have a lot of trouble convincing investors to invest in his 'dream'. You can always tell when a person is passionately devoted to some project they are marketing, or when they are just going through the motions, or 'mailing it in'.

As Christians, our main project in life should be to answer God's call on our life. We must be willing to accept the challenge and be obedient to His will, and He will provide the means and the resources to accomplish His goals. It also usually means that we will find ourselves in situations we never thought we would be in. We may be called to go to different countries to preach the word, we may be called to write the next great book on christian faith, we may record the next great christian gospel song, or He may require us to stay in an awkward situation, to be the guiding light in a dark place. Whatever He asks you to do, don't be so sure that you cannot handle the situation.

We all have fears and doubts from time to time, being afraid sometimes does not mean that you don't have any courage. The Lord may be asking you to do something or to go somewhere that is totally out of your comfort zone, but the good news is that if He is telling you to do it, He will be right there with you, experiencing everything that you will go through, comforting you, empowering you, ecouraging you when you need it. Doors will open for you that were shut before, and your enemies will be forced to help you instead of destroy you. You have the greatest power ever known dwelling in your heart, and when you take the first step into your destiny, He will take all the rest of them with you.

When those doubts and fears start to take over, bring those concerns to Him; don't hold back, tell Him you how you are feeling. He wants you to pour out your heart to Him; He already knows how you are feeling, but you must be honest with Him and open your heart, so that He can bless you and heal you. He is the only one who can take your fears and doubts and replace them with peace and joy, and He will give you the courage to do His will.

God is peace, joy, and love, no other person, substance, or ideology can give you what you need to live a full life in this world. Whatever He is asking you to do, you can do it. Don't sell Him or yourself short. Nobody is going to love you as much as He does, so He will make sure you will survive this venture, and when you come out on the other side, in the end, you will be changed, as a much better father, mother, person, and a stronger Christian. That's what it is all about!
