Have you ever had that feeling deep down that God is nudging you toward something new—maybe a change, an opportunity, or a step of faith—but instead of excitement, you feel hesitant?

We often convince ourselves that we need to have everything figured out before we move forward. We wait for the perfect timing, until we feel completley condfident, or for a guarantee that things will work out.

But let's be honest—if we waited until we felt completely ready, we might never move at all.

Maybe it’s not that you don’t want to move forward—it's just that fear, doubt, or the uncertainty of what comes next feels overwhelming

If that's where you are. you're not alone. Stepping into the unknown is rarely comfortable. It can feel risky, unsettling, and even scary. But what if that stirring inside you isn't just a passing thought?

What if that nudge is God leading you toward something that will grow you in ways you can't yet see?

It's natural to wonder:

🤔 What if I've got this wrong?
🤔 What if I fail?
🤔 What if '’m not ready?
🤔 What if I don't have what it takes?

But God isn't asking you to have everything figured out—He's asking you to trust Him.

Courage doesn't mean waiting until you feel completely confident, or have all the answers. Courage is about taking a step forward, even when you still have questions.

The more you act in faith, the more you'll begin to see that God has been with you all along, preparing the way.

The truth is, God isn't asking us to have it all mapped out—He’s just asking us to trust Him with the next step. One step at a time, He'll lead us where we need to go.

Taking a step of faith (even when you're unsure)

Joshua 1:9 reminds us:

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

This wasn't just a promise for Joshua—it's for you, too.

God isn't waiting for you to have everything figured out before you take a step forward. He just wants you to trust that He's already ahead of you, making a way.

Maybe the step God is nudging you toward feels big—starting something new, making a bold decision, or stepping into an unknown season.

Or maybe it’s a quieter but just as important step—showing up, staying consistent, or choosing to trust Him in a situation where you’ve been holding back.

Whatever it looks like for you, it doesn't have to be perfect. You just need to take a step.

God meets us in motion, and as you step out in faith, He will guide you the rest of the way.

What Happens When You Step Out in Faith?

When you take that first step, even a small one, things begin to shift:

💡 Your confidence in God grows. Each step forward shows you that He is faithful.
💡 Doors start to open. When you move, even in uncertainty, you make room for God to guide you, and make awy where there wasn't a way.
💡 Fear loses its grip. The more you act in faith, the less fear controls what you do.

The hardest part is usually taking that first step in faith. But once you get started, you'll realise that God has been preparing you all along.

Your Challenge: Take the Next Step

You don't have to have everything figured out. You don't have to know exactly how things will turn out.

You just need to take one step forward.

📝 Action Step: Identify & Move Forward

✔ What's one step I’ve been hesitating to take?
✔ What's been holding me back—fear, doubt, or uncertainty?
✔ What's one small thing I can do today to move forward?

Write it down, pray about it, and take action. Even the smallest step in faith will move you forward.

A Prayer for You

"Father, I know You want me to step forward in faith, even when I feel uncertain. Help me to trust You more than I trust my fears. Give me the courage to take the next step, even when I don't see the full picture. Remind me that You have gone before me, that You are walking with me, and that I am never alone. Strengthen my heart, quiet my doubts, and fill me with the confidence that comes from knowing You are in control. I choose to trust You today and for every step ahead. In Jesus’ name, Amen"

Next week, we'll talk about surrender—what it really means to let go and trust God completely.

When we cling to control, we carry unnecessary stress, anxiety, and pressure. But when we surrender, we open ourselves to God's peace, His plans, and His presence in a deeper way.

Join me as we explore what happens when we truly let go and allow God to lead. It might just be the breakthrough you've been waiting for.
