Hi my friends, welcome to day 9 of our 30 day dream big challenge, and it's all about
stepping outside our comfort zone.
Galatians 5, 22-23 says, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, and against such things there
is no law.
So stepping outside your comfort zone can be daunting, but it is often where our greatest
growth occurs.
You see, God has equipped us with the fruit of the Spirit, which will empower us to face
challenges with courage and grace.
So I don't know about you, but sometimes, oh, I dream to go out sailing and walking
on the water, but when I get to the edge of the shore and I see those waves in the deep
ocean, oh, I just, I get afraid.
I get afraid to take that first step.
And see, that's where the power of the Spirit can come in to encourage us to have bold feet
and to take action and to trust that He will equip us with everything we need.
So today, reflect on what actions make you feel uncomfortable regarding your dream.
Identify one specific action that you can take this week to step outside your comfort
zone and trust God that He will be with you and help you take those leaps of faith.
So let me ask you today in our activation, what makes you uncomfortable about pursuing
your dream?
Be honest.
God already knows anyway.
And then identify one action that can, like, push you like a little baby bird out of the
nest and get you to start flapping your wings.
And so I want to pray for you today.
Oh, God, just thank you for my friends.
God, thank you for them stepping out into bold feet this week and pursuing their dreams.
And God, I pray that they could just walk into deep waters with you, that they would
leave the safety of their nest or the things that bring them comfort, that they'd be willing
to go outside of the area, God, that you are calling them to, that they would grow and
that they would embrace discomfort and that you would bring them to a place, God, of bold
faith in you.
God, I pray for encouragement, highlight specific actions you want them to take.
And may the fruit of your spirit be their source of energy, vitality, encouragement
and strength this week.
In Jesus name, amen.
Okay.
Bye, my friends.
