I won't allow my fears to stand in my way

“I will lead my blind people along paths they have never known. I will turn the darkness around them into light. I will smooth out the road ahead of them. I will not abandon them. These are the things I will do; I will not leave them undone.” (Isaiah 42:16 NLT)

Has God ever asked you to take a step into the unknown, friend? Perhaps today, that's exactly what He might ask of you, who knows? I want to reassure you right now that this shouldn’t scare you!

It's natural for big questions to arise because you have no idea what awaits you on this new path. You've never been here before. It's also completely normal not to know how to navigate this new situation, even to make mistakes!

You'll learn how to handle it. For now, just keep moving forward!

friend, rejoice when new opportunities arise, and don't let your fear steal that joy from you!

You know, friend, when I was asked to write these texts you're reading for A Miracle Every Day, I felt very much the same. Questions upon questions: “How will I manage this? Will I have a new idea every day? Will the readers even understand what I mean? Or will they judge me?”

And believe me, I had at least 100 more questions. But God had clearly asked me... it was up to me to take the step... and today, I experience this great blessing!

If God is asking something of you today, you should go... because His great blessing awaits you!

friend, maybe you're reading this right now and thinking, “Great, I've set out but I'm not experiencing any of this great blessing. On the contrary, fear is taking over.” Don't let yourself be discouraged. So often, I have experienced that miracles happen when you keep going!

And for your today, here and now, God wants to strengthen you! 

So, let's pray together, speak it out, and believe it: “Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me. Your rod and Your staff protect and comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4 NLT) 

Amen.

You are a miracle!
