When you do not know where to Begin, Start with doing what you Can

Life is a cycle of beginnings and endings. When you start to do something, most of the time you feel anxious, nervous and unsure. The kind of feeling that is quite uncomfortable is shown and experienced in new things that you are about to start. Typically, the goal has always been clear to your mind. You will have your eyes focused on the destination. You would craft plans and draft the things that you will do. You would also make everything prepared before starting.

However, not all of us know what to do. Not all the time that our goals are set. Sometimes, we don’t know where to begin. Some of us still struggle with what to do in life and how to live life  with deep fulfillment and purpose. We would sometimes ask ourselves what we can do and how we would figure it out. A lot of us would sometimes feel lost and scared with the things that are not yet happening. 

We would sometimes look into the faces of our friends and wonder how they unfold things and how they manage them. We would sometimes feel that maybe we are too late to do anything. We would sometimes struggle where to start and afraid of the outcome. But isn’t that what life is about? If we do not know what will happen in the next seconds of our life, we should try not to figure things out at once. 

But have you ever noticed? God never hinders us from making choices. He just doesn’t direct our lives but He also showers us with options. God does us favors upon favors every day. 

Remember that you are not too late nor too early for something to happen. There are just things that take time to begin. If you are now struggling where to start, begin with asking God what to do. Always take the first step without thinking too much about what’s next.

Your purpose is not solely associated with what you can do, but you yourself already is the purpose why God created everything. When you do not know where to begin, start with doing what you can. Remember, you don’t have to figure out everything. Let your journey take you to it. Take one step at a time. If the goal is blurry, then make God’s promises clearer in your heart and mind. Let God take you to what He has prepared for you. 

The beginning is as important as the ending, but it is the process that creates the meaning. God wants to work with you and not just to simply take you to your destination. He wants you and not what you can do. He wants your heart not what you can offer to Him. Let God shower you with the wisdom and knowledge that you need. Let your heart feel fulfillment through Him. So if you do not know where to begin, start with what you can and let God reveal the rest as you walk along the journey.

    This is exactly how I feel right now. I felt that God listened and I found an answer to my prayer. I am confused how to start in life as I experienced so much failures and I do not have the confidence to rise up again. AMEN, Please Lord God help me from start to finish, especially the beginning is the hardest part, as I do not have proper destination and my future is uncertain and I do not know what to do, in Jesus Christ name AMEN.
