“God Told Me to Start… But I Was Scared”: How to Take the First Step in Obedience

If you’ve ever felt like God told you to start something—a ministry, a blog, a business, a podcast—but fear held you back... sis, you’re not alone.

Obedience is hard when you can’t see the outcome. But God doesn’t ask for perfection—He asks for surrender.

Here’s how to take that first step:

1. Be Honest with God
   He’s not intimidated by your fear. Tell Him exactly how you feel. Surrender your worries, doubts, and insecurities in prayer.

2. Write the Vision (Even If You Don’t Get It Yet)
   Habakkuk 2:2 reminds us to write the vision. Get it on paper—even if it’s messy or unclear.

3. Find Your One Person
   You don’t need a crowd. Who is one woman your obedience could bless? Focus on her.

4. Take the Smallest Next Step
   Don’t overthink it. Maybe it’s claiming the domain name. Recording one video. Praying live on IG. Just do one thing today.

5. Trust that God Will Meet You There
   God provides when we move. He won’t show you step 10 if you’re still avoiding step 1. Faith is forward.
