Walking Through Fear and Into God’s Plan

Walking Through Fear and Into God’s Plan 

Four days. That is all that stands between me and launching into the World Race. It has only been a week since I returned home from my internship, and everything feels like a whirlwind—full of excitement, anticipation, and, if I’m honest, a lot of fear. Saying yes to this calling so soon after stepping back into life at home has been both thrilling and overwhelming.

Earlier this week, I flipped through my prayer journal and found entries from months ago, when I was asking the Lord if this was what He wanted for me. Over and over, I had written prayers for clarity, surrender, and boldness: “Lord, mold me into whatever You want me to be. Use me and send me to be poured out into the nations.”

Now, just days away from stepping into this adventure, I can see how God has answered those prayers.

But can I be honest?

It is still scary.

These last few days have been filled with tears, hard goodbyes, and moments when fear has whispered, “You’re not ready. You can’t do this.” Yet every time I’ve felt weak, the Lord has reminded me that this is not about my strength. It is about His faithfulness. And He has never failed me.

For years, I have prayed that He would send me. How could I say no now, when He is opening the door so clearly? Even when fear presses in, obedience means taking the next step and trusting that He will meet me there.

Launching in four days does not mean I have conquered fear. It means I am choosing faith anyway. I am choosing to believe that His goodness is greater than my uncertainty, that His calling is worth the cost, and that His power is made perfect in my weakness.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9

This is where I would love for you to come alongside me. Would you pray for me as I prepare to launch? Here are a few ways you can pray with me:

• For courage to step fully into God’s calling each day.

• For protection and safety as I travel and serve.

• For a heart that remains surrendered, humble, and open to what God wants to do through me.

• For endurance and strength during the moments when fear or homesickness try to take hold.

• For the people I will meet, that I would love them well and point them to Christ through my actions and words.

I am saying yes, not because it is easy, but because He is worthy. I believe with all my heart that when we say yes to God, even when we feel afraid, He shows up in ways we could never imagine. He has never failed me, and I know He will not start now.

If you would like to partner with me on this journey, you can do so here.

Thank you for praying, supporting, and walking with me into this next chapter.
