Prompt: What is holding you back?
Mini things and major circumstances of life do tend to hinder me, sometimes in minor ways and sometimes greatly affecting me. Regarding the latter, the biggest thing holding me back is the feeling of being stuck and feeling as if I’m moving too slowly at progressing forward in accomplishments of life. This is due to my fear of the uncertainty, the unknown, and not having the faith to FULLY believe that everything will work out and be ok.
I know it is ok to have doubts and question, because God knows me and my heart—He knows everything about me, and I can’t hide anything from Him. What’s the point of hiding my doubts and fears from Someone who knows it all? In my opinion, it would only make me fake.
The problem comes when I’ve held on to those doubts and fears and not just give them to The One who has it all handled.
And the problem comes when I feel I need solid evidence and visual proof that everything will be “ok,” instead of not only knowing but fully believing that faith in the unknown—of what’s not yet seen—will get me further than I realize.
