As a young mom, I was asked to take on a volunteer position. At first, I didn’t accept it. I felt inexperienced and unsure of myself, but I also didn’t want fear to keep me from something God might be calling me to.
The woman who asked me said something that still guides me today:
“Don’t say no just because you think you don’t know how to do it. None of us really know what we’re doing here. God doesn’t call the equipped; He equips the called.”
A few years later, I said YES, fully aware that I didn’t have all the answers. That was okay. God made me enough for the task, and He continues to guide me.
Even now, I don’t always know exactly what I’m doing. But when I follow Him, the ideas and guidance I need come at the right time. All the glory goes to Him.
If something God is asking you to do feels beyond your ability, don’t let fear stop you. Pray about it. Humble yourself. Ask for help. Build a network of mentors and supporters to walk with you.
Say, “Yes, with God’s help, I will!” and trust Him to equip you. Whatever you’re stepping into, I am cheering you on and I’ll pray for you along the way.
