Introduction The Burning Bush God Reveals His Name Moses Is Called Overcoming Doubt and Fear Trusting God in Your Mission Extended 5‑Minute PrayerIntroduction
Moses’ initial fear and doubt reflect the natural hesitation humans feel when God asks them to step into responsibility. God does not leave Moses without assurance; He promises His presence and equips him for the mission.

It challenges us to step out in faith, trust His timing, and rely on His presence even when the task seems impossible.
