The same way grain goes through the process of being harvested, beaten, thrashed, separated, and winnowed to reach its final, usable state, God brings each of us through a preparation period to reach our full purpose and potential in Him. Fear may try to come against us as we are in times of preparation, but do not allow that fear to affect your confidence in God.

The Lord said to Gideon, The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel boast about themselves against Me, saying, My own hand has delivered me. Judges 7:2 (AMPC)
