Topic: Stepping Out In Faith

Each of us must step out in trust and belief in God. We must step out in faith and take a risk with God, regardless of whether our belief is strong or weak. It is when we begin to step out, or we start to throw our line into the water, that the matters of faith become difficult. Matters of faith can become difficult because in our lives we must take a chance with God. We all want concrete assurance and protection in many ways. We all want guarantees that nothing bad will happen in our life. We want God to promise us our paths will be smooth and safe. We all want to walk through our lives without pain or difficulty. Most of us, if we told the truth, have expectations that God will provide for us in these matters. We do want God to protect us from pain and strife. We do want God to make our paths smooth. We do want God to always make sure we have a job, income, housing, and food to eat. We do want God to protect our loved ones. We want God to heal the sick. We definitely want God to answer all our prayers like we want them answered. These are very real life wants. When we hold these wants up to God in our prayers, thoughts, and meditations we are concretely connecting God to these wants. We must remember that when we want God to produce a result for us we may be using our faith but the use may be pointed in the wrong direction.
