"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." ~Proverbs 3:5-6, NIV
The title of Proverbs 3 is "Wisdom Bestows Well-Being". There are a lot of suggestions for wise living within the 35 verses of the chapter, and I would like to emphasize the above two, which you've probably heard before.
So we have instruction, and then the reason why: trust in the Lord, submit to Him, because then He will make your paths straight.
And if we're following in God's path, there's really nothing to be afraid of, unless you're worried about rejection and hatred. But because you're going to face that no matter what path you're on, why not step into God's trail? It won't be easy, but it's His great destiny for you, His chosen hero.
Y'know, save the princess, make yourself into an infinitely better person, and glorify God the whole way? Choose to follow the path of a hero. Take up a challenge - trust in God's ultimate plan for you with all your heart, and watch in awe as He does amazing things through you.
