There are many people who are so afraid of making a mistake that they do not do anything. Instead, sit around saying, "What if I am wrong? What if I miss God?"
Do you know what God told me one time? He said, "If you miss me, I will find you."
If we are wandering off somewhere and not sure where we are, we can just lift up our hands and say, "Jesus, come and get me! I am confused. I think I made a wrong decision."
God knows we cannot be perfect, so He sent His son as a perfect sacrifice for us. Now we are pressing toward the mark of perfection. In Philippians 3, the apostle talks about pressing forward to what lies ahead and forgetting about the past.
God is calling you to press forward today. Stop living in fear of making mistakes, because everyone makes mistakes, period. God is not asking you to not make mistakes. He is calling you to press forward, trusting Him to lead you. He is asking you to call upon Him. Do not live in fear of your imperfection. Live with faith in God's perfect plan for you.
Prayer starter: God, I do not want to live paralyzed by fear of my imperfection and my mistakes. I know that instead, I can call out to You, and You will help me press forward to the mark of perfection.
Philippians 3:12
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
