Facing uncertainty is predictable through all the different stages of life. Uncertainty may vary in importance and consequences ranging from minor to life-changing. Personal reactions depend on the accompanying feelings, like anxiety and fear, or hope.
The most common feelings are fear and anxiety. When I was 12, my father was given the opportunity to work at an aircraft factory. Prior to this employment, he had spent his life farming, except for brief interludes driving a truck and working as a mechanic.
You will usually have a choice in how to face uncertainties. What my father did was direct his attention toward what this opportunity provided that was beneficial to him and our family. Jesus said in this world you will face trouble and trials but you can do it with confidence by realizing that Jesus overcame the world and you can be an overcomer through faith and trust in him.
In all these things we have complete victory through him [Jesus] who loves us. For I am certain that nothing can separate us from his love...
~Romans 8:37-38 Good News Bible
