  - Welcome to the divine five one five podcast.
• 0:16
  - Here is today's prayer.
• 0:23
  - Hello, and welcome to daily prayers with Valerie
• 0:27
  - Rocha.
• 0:28
  - Today's prayer topic is addressing how to take
• 0:31
  - the next step.
• 0:32
  - Scripture text comes from Psalms one nineteen one
• 0:35
  - zero five and says, your word is a
• 0:37
  - lamp for my feet, a light on my
• 0:40
  - path.
• 0:41
  - Well,
• 0:42
  - the problem
• 0:45
  - is that sometimes we know what we need
• 0:48
  - to do.
• 0:50
  - We're just afraid to do it,
• 0:53
  - whether it's making the call or start the
• 0:56
  - application or
• 0:57
  - have the conversation,
• 1:00
  - create the boundary,
• 1:02
  - or
• 1:03
  - begin again.
• 1:05
  - We have prayed about it
• 1:07
  - repeatedly,
• 1:08
  - but eventually prayer leads us toward action.
• 1:13
  - But we struggle because we want certainty before
• 1:16
  - obedience.
• 1:18
  - But faith often works in the opposite order.
• 1:22
  - God gives enough light for the next step,
• 1:24
  - and we discover more as we move.
• 1:28
  - And prayer helps us make room
• 1:31
  - by
• 1:32
  - helping us distinguish between waiting on God and
• 1:36
  - delaying because we're afraid.
• 1:39
  - Yes.
• 1:41
  - He has already shown us what we need
• 1:44
  - to do.
• 1:46
  - And, no, we won't need another sign.
• 1:50
  - We just may need some courage.
• 1:53
  - That being said, let's go to the throne.
• 1:58
  - Father god, give us courage to act on
• 2:00
  - what you've already shown us.
• 2:04
  - Keep fear from disguising itself as waiting.
• 2:08
  - Guide our steps through your word, father, and
• 2:11
  - help us move forward in faith,
• 2:13
  - and we will bless you in Jesus' name.
• 2:17
  - Well,
• 2:19
  - what step
• 2:20
  - are you praying about that you've been postponing?
• 2:25
  - We want to encourage you to take one
• 2:27
  - action.
• 2:29
  - And if this prayer gave you the push
• 2:31
  - you needed, share it with someone else who
• 2:33
  - may be standing at their own next step.
• 2:36
  - And remember,
• 2:37
  - you don't need enough light for 10 steps.
• 2:41
  - Just walk in the light you have.
