sometimes the call is uncomfortable

Lately I have been really convicted about my initial response to certain things I'm learning or feeling led to do. I think a lot of times I immediately doubt or try to escape things Jesus is calling me to do just because it feels uncomfortable, and I'm starting to picture him looking at me, I'm sure in the most loving way possible, saying "so what!!!". It may feel totally unreachable to me, but who am I to think it could ever be unreachable for Him?

Dear Jesus,

Lord I'm sorry for the times my reluctance and fear has come in the way of my obedience to you.

I pray that instead of focusing on how incapable I may be feeling, I would fix my eyes on your all powerful nature.

I pray that you would help me to remember that just because it's uncomfortable doesn't mean I should flee from it.

Why should I expect it all to be comfortable when so much of your ministry was far from simple and easy.

Lord please give me the strength to embrace the unknown for your name's sake.

Jesus, I am so incredibly eager to know you deeper and deeper and to tell others about how immensely loved they are by the king of kings.

I pray that no uneasy or fearful feeling would ever blind me from that.

In your name I pray, Amen.
