Have you ever said something like this?
“I’ll start when I feel more confident.”
“I just need to learn a bit more first.”
“I’m not ready yet.”
If you have, you’re not alone.
So many people delay their purpose, their calling, and their next step in life simply because they don’t feel ready.
But here’s the truth:
You don’t have to feel ready to obey God. You just have to be willing.
Let’s talk about why waiting to feel ready could be holding you back—and what you can do instead.
1. You May Never “Feel” Ready—And That’s Okay
If you’re waiting for a moment where everything is perfect, your confidence is 100%, and all the fear is gone… that moment may never come.
Every big step—starting a blog, launching a business, saying yes to ministry, or even applying for a job—will come with some fear, some uncertainty, and some risk.
But courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s doing it scared.
📖 “Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” – Joshua 1:9
2. Readiness Comes in Motion, Not in Waiting
Clarity often comes after the first step. Not before.
You may not know the full plan, but when you take that leap of faith, God meets you on the move.
Like Peter stepping out of the boat—he didn’t walk on water while waiting. He stepped out, then saw the miracle.
Start where you are. Start with what you have. Just start.
3. You Already Have More Than You Think
It’s easy to focus on what you don’t have:
- Not enough money
- Not enough time
- Not enough support
- Not enough knowledge
But God never calls the qualified. He qualifies the called.
What’s in your hand right now might look small—but in God’s hands, it’s more than enough.
📖 “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life.” – 2 Peter 1:3
4. You’ll Learn More By Doing Than Waiting
You can read all the books, watch all the videos, and attend every training—but nothing grows you like real action.
When you start:
- You learn what works
- You build confidence
- You gain momentum
Waiting might feel safe—but it doesn’t build strength. Movement does.
5. Your Obedience Could Bless Someone Else
Sometimes, we don’t feel ready because we’re too focused on ourselves.
But what if your blog post, your video, your testimony, or your product is the answer to someone else’s prayer?
Don’t wait until it’s perfect.
Don’t wait until you’re perfect.
Just be obedient—and let God do the rest.
Final Note
You may not feel ready, but that doesn’t disqualify you.
You may be nervous, but that doesn’t mean you’re not called.
You don’t have to wait for peace to replace fear.
You just have to let faith rise higher than fear.
God is not asking you to be perfect. He’s asking you to trust Him enough to take the first step.
So stop waiting. Start building. Start moving. And start becoming the person you were born to be.
