"We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us;

we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be."  -- C. S. Lewis

This is exactly what scares me when I pray for my kids.

Let's be truthful - I'm scared for myself, too, for what God may ask of me.

Scared that I'll fail.

Scared of the fallout.

Scared of what others will think.

Scared.

And yet, listening for God's leading.
