#4: The Practice of NOT SECOND GUESSING (Trust)

What if? Second guessing isn’t just a nagging nuisance, it is a paralyzer of our faith. We question every decision we make, wondering if we chose wisely. Moving forward is impossible when we constantly find ourselves looking back. Instead of stepping out courageously, we stumble over our feet or, even worse, dig our heels in and refuse to budge due to our indecisiveness. Anxiety rises as the fear of missing out runs roughshod over any joy we had hoped to find. The practice of not second-guessing is a stubborn refusal to give in to all the “what if‘s.” It serves as a decision to embrace the choice we made. We are trusting that we pursued this direction as we were following after God’s heart. It’s an acknowledgment of His presence as well as a declaration of trust that His purposes reside wherever we go.
