If you are like me you have heard the term "Just pray about it and Jesus will answer you and direct you" about a million times. I do believe in the power of prayer and I do believe that the Lord will guide us. But I also believe that a part of having faith is being able to step out onto the water and trust Jesus just as Peter did. I believe that if you do something with the right heart and intentions and are truly trying to live and glorify the Lord, he will continue to use you as a disciple of Christ.
I say this because this issue of faith has come up in my life recently. I have been praying for quite some time to the Lord about where I should be after i graduate. Toledo, Hamilton, Philly, DC, Columbus... And I have been praying for quite some time about my passion and desire to do ministry and live life with kids with disabilities. Both of those things have consumed my prayer, thoughts, and anxieties. But I realized i just gotta have some faith and step onto the water. With the encouragement of some friends I stopped complaining about the slow process of seeing YL Capernaum (YL for kids with disabilities) in Toledo and I finally did something about it. I sent a potentially big email tonight. Now whether or not this will come to anything will be seen. But I realized i had to take the step, use my faith in the Lord and trust that he will not let me sink.
Friends, step out of the boat and have faith. Jesus is always there with a hand ready.
With Love Yo
Oph
