Stepping out of the comfort zone

 
A prayer I wrote down at the start of this year as I was struggling with the fear of taking steps outside my comfort zone. Always challenging breaking new ground.

Fear paralyses but God love and faithfulness liberates! Joshua 24

Father, I so much want to be in control of my destiny. I am so afraid of letting go and letting you take control. I am afraid of the uncertainty and I feel lost. 

Many questions in my head. Much worry and anxiety fill my mind. Making me feel heavy and weighed down.

Release me from this tyranny. Set me free from my fear. Strengthen my feeble legs and my arms that I may move forward in confidence and take hold of your promises to give me the victory. 

I know it is not by my own strength, intelligence or connections but by your mighty power that you will fulfill your promises to bring us into a new land and establish us.

Father be with me when I am weak and doubt your ability to deliver. Bring to my remembrance how you have helped in times past and brought me to where I am today. 

Help me overcome my unbelief and move forward with the confidence that you are with me each and every step of the way. Amen.

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.” – Psalm 37:23-24
