Verses For Women Who Are Stepping Out On Faith

Stepping out on faith isn’t a concept that’s foreign to me.

When I moved to California back in 2012 with 4 suitcases, 2 carry-ons, and a toddler, I had no idea what the outcome would be. 

All I knew was that God had always taken care of me, and I had no reason to doubt that this situation would be any different.

As my birthday nears next week, I find myself preparing for my personal new year. What’s my plan? I have no idea. I’m going to pray, ask for guidance, and follow God’s will for my life.

If you’re in a place where you’re ready to step on on faith, but you’re not sure where to start, you’re not alone.

I’m nervous about not being in control, but I anticipate this feeling will go away soon.

In the meantime, I’m going to meditate on these verses that some amazing women shared with me on Facebook.

Feeling overwhelmed one evening, I asked the question, “What’s your favorite Bible verse about putting all of your trust in God? About faith? About focusing on God’s will rather than your own to do list?”
