Don't be paralyzed in fear, Be courageous in Faith.

The fear of the unknown is deadly. It can force us into submission, and keep us from leveling up in our own lives.

We like the way things are. We get too comfortable. And then we stumble upon a season where we have to make a life decision.

We get so caught up on making the perfect decision, we forget to simply make one.

The best realization I have come to in life is this: Walking with God means walking in Faith, but we have to actually walk.

Faith isn’t just staying cooped up in your house and praying for God to deliver you the perfect answer. Faith is praying and understanding that God has gone before you, so you shouldn't fear making a decision.

As humans, we have gifts and passions. It is our choice in how we cultivate them. For example, a writer could use his or her talents to speak to people hearts and inspire them. In the same way, that same writer could write something that tears others down, and diminishes their purpose.

It is all stringent on how we choose to manifest our gifts.

God has given humanity the gift of free will. He has also given us the gifts of wisdom and discernment. Often, Christians use the excuse of waiting on God to promote their indecision. They forget that Gods answers to our prayers are immediate. And in His Word, it says His answers are yes and amen (2 Corinthians 1:20).

His word also says, He is not a God of confusion, but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33). So, if you find yourself continually confused, don't attribute it to waiting on Gods clarity. He has already answered your prayer and blessed your path. He gave you your mind, use it.

God is not a God of indecision. He won't lead you down a pathway of confusion. His answers are clear, and they are found in His word.

So, next time you have a decision to make, pray about it, seek Gods understanding, and don't hesitate. Use the mind that God gave you. Don't expect to have a heavenly dove come tell you exactly what to do when God has already provided His word.

Don’t use the name of God to promote your indecision. Know that God has given you the answers already.

Walk in great faith, not in great fear. God isn’t the cause of your confusion, He's already answered your prayers.

That is how verses like Philippians 4:6–7 exist,

“Do not be anxious about anything but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”

Take heart, my friends, God has authored your story. He has ordained your steps and blessed your path. He just wants you to walk with Him on your journey. Don't walk in fear; walk in Faith.
