Fears keep us bottled up in our comfort zones. We wrestle with questions like, “What if God tells me to do something I don’t want to do? What if he asks me to go somewhere unfamiliar, or to do something that is financially radical?”
Fears are normal. God understands them. But we can’t let them hold us back from doing his will.
Once, our board of elders had identified a clear need, yet knew that moving to meet it might jeopardize our church’s entire future. Late one night, after lengthy discussion and a reaffirmation that we wanted to move ahead under God’s direction, we had a closing prayer time. The elder next to me prayed, “O God, I’m shaking in my boots. Please do whatever it is you want to do with this church, but I’m afraid of what that might mean.”
Trusting God doesn’t come easy to us. That’s why it’s called trust: because it goes against our natural inclinations.
Not long after that honest prayer, that elder sold his business so that he could leverage his last 15 or 20 years for ministry. He deliberately turned his back on our society’s biggest comfort zone—retirement—and sold out to invest his life in other people for the kingdom of God.
