Sometimes we get comfortable where we are. Maybe it is not where we want to be or where we think we should be, but we are comfortable, so we stay. Maybe we are not comfortable, but we are familiar with our situation, so we stay put. The fear of doing something different can be frightening. The fear of failure is a real thing!
People who are in abusive relationships stay in it for various reasons. One of them is because the fear of change overrides the pain of staying put. Some people will never try a new business for fear of failure. Sometimes we will not ask for a promotion or raise at work because we fear rejection.
Sometimes God is calling us to something different. Sometimes He has plans for our lives that require us to trust Him and take a step of faith. Maybe you have a similar situation this week. Are you stuck in a situation you can’t see your way out of? Have you made bad choices along the way and now you are frightened to change? Are you feeling overlooked at your place of employment?
Sometimes it starts with just a little change. Do something different this week to break your routine. Start to see yourself living the life you want to live. If you are stuck in a rut, start little changes so that you can get out of the rut you are in. Remember that many successful businesses did not start that way overnight. There were usually many failed attempts along the way.
Start by telling yourself that it is possible to change. Change the way you are thinking about your situation. You are not in a life sentence. Nothing about your situation says you must stay there forever. You are not doomed to a life of unhappiness because of the choices you made to get you where you are.
Remember if you are a child of God, He tells us more than once in His word that He will never leave us or forsake us. Pray to Him. Ask Him to reveal His plan for your life. Ask Him to give you the strength to change your situation. If you are not in a relationship with The Lord Jesus Christ. Call out to him today. He is ready and able to come into your heart and lead you into a new chapter of your life.
That will I speak
