What are you waiting for?

2 Timothy 1:7 "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline."

I was driving into town today lost in my own thoughts when the song WALK ON THE WATER came on. I have struggled in my heart with fear and worry. I have heard God calling me to do things that I have eventually said no to because I was too afraid, too comfortable, or maybe too lazy. I lacked faith in myself and God. Do you hear the whispers of God calling you to do His will and you say no out of fear? You are not alone. If you read this and you struggle with this will you share? I am realizing true discipleship is not easy or comfortable...it is radical, it is hard and there is a promise of suffering. But I feel confident in my soul that it will all be worth it.

Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid!



You look around and staring back at you
Another wave of doubt
Will it pull you under
You wonder
What if i'm overtaken
What if i never make it
What if no one's there
Will you hear my prayer?
When you take that first step
Into the unknown
You know that he won't let you go

So what are you waiting for
What do you have to lose
Your insecurities
They try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes
And you can walk on the water too

So get out and let your fear fall to the ground
No time to waste, don't wait
And don't you turn around, and miss out on
Everything you were made for
Gotta be, I know you're not sure, more
So you play it safe, you try to run away
If you take that first step
Into the unknown
He won't let you go

So what are you waiting for
What do you have to lose
Your insecurities
They try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes
And you can walk on the water too

Step out, even when it's storming
Step out, even when you're broken
Step out, even when your heart is telling you,
telling you to give up
Step out, when your hope is stolen
Step out, you can't see where you're going
You don't have to be afraid
So what are waiting, what are you waiting for

So what are you waiting for
What do you have to lose
Your insecurities
They try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes
And you can walk on the water,
walk on the water too
