“Get Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable”

5-9-2023
This morning I continue to read Relationship Goals by Michael Todd:

“If I’m here and it’s uncomfortable, it’s for my growth. God is trying to show purpose in my life.”

And it’s exactly what I needed to read today. Because indeed it is a bit uncomfortable over here. I went to bed and the thoughts passed my mind, making me feel uncomfortable. I woke up, prayed and I remembered those thoughts, and again… uncomfortable. This went on for over an hour. Thoughts entered and then back out. As if they were playing peekaboo with my comfort. Only making the situation uncomfortable.

“Accept the training, remind yourself it’s not forever, and keep your spirit tuned in to God’s Spirit.”

I breath. I close and open my eyes (which in my mind went in slow motion) and I accept the training. This training of waiting and trusting in God. And most importantly give my all in doing as He asked me to do. Work hard. Do overtime if necessary. And even enter another Fasting & Prayer, keeping me focused and not distracted. Trust, be patient & just do my part.

“And trust Him to bring people into your life who can push you ahead and whom you can push ahead in His plans.”

The people making me feel uncomfortable? I accept them. Because I trust Him. I trust Him who brought these people in my life, Him who is using them to make me feel uncomfortable in such a way it makes me want to move. Indeed it pushes me. It pushes me ahead in His plans.

So for now, I guess I better get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
