Are you stepping out?
Have you ever prayed for something but it seemed to never be answered?
I remember a time where I was praying for new friends. I mostly kept to myself and didn’t really interact with the outside world, mainly because of the pandemic.
The one time I went to the pool and actually talked to people, I ended up making friends right away! People that I had so much in common with! I realized I actually had to go out of my house and actually talk to another human to make a friend. I couldn’t just expect it to come to me.
Most of the time we don’t like to go outside our comfort zone because well, it’s uncomfortable. We don’t like stepping out, we like staying in our own little bubble where things are nice and easy.
It is so important as Christians to be stepping out of our comfort zones and acting, because that is a guaranteed way to grow. I’ve learned that the hard stuff is always worth it.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9
God promises to be with us every step of the way. We need to start being more courageous in our daily lives, especially because we aren’t doing it alone.
Maybe you need to step out and start your own business.
Maybe you need to step out and start tithing.
Maybe you need to step out and pray for that person at the grocery store.
Maybe you need to step out and start fighting for the things that you believe in.
Whatever the case may be, stepping out of our comfort zone is the best opportunity for growth. A lot of us struggle with the same thing for far too long all because we think that stepping out of our comfort zone is too hard.
Stepping out may be hard sometimes, but it is worth it. And the more you learn how to be uncomfortable, the easier it becomes. The growth becomes unstoppable.
So, are you stepping out?

Father God, forgive me for living in fear and staying in my comfort zone. I want to grow and I want your best for me. Give me the strength and courage to step out.
