I’m scared. I’m confused. I’m overwhelmed.
I’m not sure if I’m truly scared and ambivalent, or if I’m just so exhausted from the illness, overthinking, the false starts and elusive endings, that stepping out just feels like too much risk, energy, fortitude, and tenacity.
It feels like I’m always starting over – a new set of goals, a new program, a book that’s been started before, an exercise plan, a Bible study, a prayer calendar.
I start, the I give out or get distracted or get discouraged or bored.
And so I feel defeated. “What’s the point when I know I won’t follow through – again?”
The teachings I’ve been under the past few days – devotionals, Priscilla Shirer, and another teacher (my memory fails me – again) – have all converged with synchronized messages:
- Do not fear.
- Do not be discouraged.
- Stop striving.
- Be obedient to what God’s calling you to do – even if it seems small and inconsequential.
He’s preparing you, in this time – whatever uncertainty, confusion, overwhelm it may be – for your calling.
Be still. Just be still.
