Day 17: Stepping Out in Faith
Verse of the Day:
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)
Reflection:
Stepping out in faith often requires overcoming fear and trusting in God's guidance. The words of Proverbs 3:5-6 remind us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and to lean not on our understanding. As we face new opportunities in the coming year, let faith be our guide.
Fear can paralyze and hinder us from embracing the new beginnings God has in store. In faith, acknowledge God in all your ways, surrendering your plans to Him. Trust that He will direct your paths and lead you into the fulfillment of His purpose.
Reflect on areas in your life where fear may be holding you back. In prayer, ask God for the courage to step out in faith, trusting His guidance and surrendering your fears into His capable hands.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, grant us the courage to overcome fear and step out in faith. As we acknowledge You in all our ways, we trust that You will direct our paths. May the new opportunities before us be embraced with faith, knowing that You are our guide. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Action Step:
