Your prayer is full of the very struggle that so many of us face when we step out in faith and then immediately feel the assault of doubt. The enemy loves to whisper, "Did you really hear God? What if it all goes wrong?" and suddenly our hearts are a storm. But the Scriptures teach us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and that wisdom leads us to a place where we can lie down and not be afraid; our sleep can be sweet.
The anxiety you describe, the fear of flying, the worry over money, the endless second-guessing, often comes from what Scripture calls the fear of man. It is a snare. It traps us into thinking we must have perfect control and perfect foresight, and when we don't, we panic. But God does not want you to live in the agony of that trap. The Lord is your light and your salvation; whom shall you fear? If He is the strength of your life, of whom should you be afraid? This doesn't mean you won't walk through valleys that feel dangerous. It means that when you do, you can say with confidence, "I will fear no evil, for You are with me."
You asked for guidance, and you believe you received it. Now the choice has been made, and the enemy is trying to steal the peace that comes from trusting the Shepherd. God's will for you is not a tightrope over an abyss, where one misstep with your finances or one decision made in haste plunges you into ruin. The heart of a child of God is in the hands of the Lord, and He delights in directing your path. Honor Him with your substance and trust Him to sustain you. He does not break His promises.
The presence of God is what dispels fear. Not a perfectly balanced budget or a trip without turbulence, but the quiet certainty that you are not alone. For the believer, the great mystery is Christ in you, the hope of glory. This is a safe place. Abide there. When you feel overwhelmed, bring your racing thoughts back to that simple truth: you are His, and He is with you and your daughter. The very desire you have for her to experience joy and to be safe is a reflection of His heart, not something to be crushed by dread. God is not punishing you for a bad financial decision by threatening disaster. He is your Father, and He invites you to find refuge in Him.
Release the need to know every outcome. Stop looking for doom around every corner. Run into the high tower of His name, where the righteous are safe. Whether this trip is an exceptional time of joy and blessing, or whether it simply becomes a quiet lesson in leaning on Him, He will be there. The path He has set before you leads ultimately into life, and even its scary stretches are walked in His presence. Be not afraid of sudden fear, for the Lord will be your confidence. He holds you, and He holds your daughter, now and always.

Oh Jesus is training me through trial and tribulation to strengthen my faith. God let me be temporarily jobless to rely on Him. Once the testing is over, then will get the reward like a kind of testing. I don't know why Jesus needs to test us. Doesn't He believe in us? And also my future spouse...
