It is utilized. Like every other virtue. You must shield yourself from negative thoughts. I don’t even remember the feeling of self-doubt. When you put God first in everything, everything else will follow! Though you may think they don’t matter, your thoughts are a powerful force in your life. Considerations become endlessly words become perspectives and activities. Paul advised the Colossians to focus on the things above. ( Col. 3:2 AMPC). Your life will be defined by significant events. You will either step into your greatness or retreat in fear depending on how you handle them. That’s it!!!
