The courage to be is rooted in the God who appears when God has disappeared in the anxiety of doubt.

The courage to be is rooted in the God who appears when God

Summary

This quote suggests that true courage comes from finding faith and strength in moments of doubt and uncertainty, especially when one feels disconnected from a traditional concept of God. Instead of relying solely on external factors or beliefs, "the courage to be" is found within oneself, through an inner commitment to persevere despite the absence of clear answers. It implies that it is in these vulnerable moments that one can discover a deeper understanding of oneself and find the courage to continue moving forward.
