One of the pieces of advice we receive through the word of God: Strive and be brave, do not be afraid or dismayed, Joshua 1:7. At different times in our lives we come to feel discouraged when we see that we have not achieved anything. However, there are those who continue despite the results or the time it takes achieve success.
Some people when they have a difficult time, they tend to forget what God has promised them. God already chose us before everything was created, and for this reason there should be no doubt in our heartsnor should we be people of little faith but a lot.
Strive and be brave, do not fear or dismay
Joshua was chosen by God from a young age to fulfill a great task, and that was to be the Moses’ successor. But to get to this point, Joshua went through a great process. It is necessary that each person lives a process, since in the process it is strengthened even more, he acquires experience and wisdom. For that reason we should always see trials and difficulties as a spiritual gym.
We must keep our eyes and trust placed in God, and always keep in mind that nothing will separate us from his great love, because if God is with us, nothing and no one can stand against us.
Gaining strength and courage
World athletes live a daily routine and strict to achieve speed, strength, agility and other physical qualities. In addition to sessions motivation, whether they are taught by their coaches, family members or psychologists. The Christian must also prepare physically and mentally to achieve the purpose that God has established with his life.
Although the tests are the gym of the Christian, the machinery to carry out the different exercises are prayer, fasting and word reading. For this reason, our best battles are fought on our knees, every time you open your bible and you read it with all the intention of allowing it to convict your life, God will give you the answer to your situation.

For example, a business, company, company, an important position.

So there will be more attacks on the thoughts of those who have big dreams, so you must learn to push yourself, despite the thoughts you have and be brave in the face of intervening obstacles.
The enemy does not want us to be prosperous, so he uses doubt to attack those who want great things. But to overcome all machination of the enemy we must persevere, moving forward no matter the situation and maintaining the gaze fixed on Jesus, aiming at success. Many focus on the process and sometimes the process is usually slow and rocky, but without looking at the goal, nothing will stop the progress you make.
Regardless of the situation you are experiencing, do not faint Avoid doing everything in your own strength. , since where the human being ends, God begins there. Be the bravest of all, always facing your fears, we are human beings and it is normal to be afraid but being brave is face our fears.
