Take the First Step, and God Will Meet You There

There are times in life when the road ahead feels steep, and the weight of our worries makes it hard to move. In those moments, it’s easy to wait for God to fix everything for us — but faith is not about standing still. It’s about trusting that when we take that first step, no matter how small, God will walk beside us and give us the strength to keep going.
 
A while ago, I had a serious fall that shattered my confidence in walking. Fear kept me trapped; whenever I went out, panic would freeze me in place. I prayed, “Lord, please take away my fear.” At first, nothing changed. Then someone gave me a walker — and slowly, step by step, I began to go out again. The fear eased, my confidence grew, and now I can travel anywhere I want.
 
Like a parent steadying a child’s first steps, God doesn’t move our feet for us — but is always there to catch us if we stumble. The courage to begin opens the door for God’s power to work through us.
 
So, like me, take that first move, however unsure it feels. You don’t have to have it all figured out — just trust that each step you take in faith is matched by the steady, loving support of the One who never let’s go.
