What if God has called me to something and I’m just plain afraid to follow? The path he’s put before me seems to frightening or overwhelming? What then?

When God calls: 5 ways to run your race well

  1. Follow God’s call with humble faith and obedience (1 Kings 19:19-21).
  2. Trust God to equip you for whatever call He gives you (2 Kings 2).
  3. Seek greatness by doing only that which He calls you to — no more and no less (2 Kings 5).
  4. Aim for self-sacrificing love, not impact (2 Kings 5).
  5. When you’re afraid, remember nothing is too big or too small for God (2 Kings 6).

2Kings 6:16 He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
