Feelings of Inadequacy

Does everyone struggle with feeling of incompetence or inadequacy, or is it just me? Sometimes when I don’t know how to do something, or when a task is so large that it seems like a mountain, I feel like there’s know way on earth I could ever, ever reach the top! And when I think about the future, not knowing what to do even next year, it overwhelms me. There’s so many options out there, I mean, I could do this or I could do that … I could do just about anything out there, there’s so many options!

That’s when I remember that the step in front of me is the most important step. You can’t make it over the mountain if you don’t take the next step. Sometimes it’s best not to look at the big picture, simply at the step in front of you. God knows the future, you don’t. Why doesn’t He tell you about the future? Well, if you’re overwhelmed by the task in front of you, how would you feel if He told you about all the mountains you will have to climb during your life? Relieved? I think not. Trust is the most important thing in dealing with these feelings. Trust Him, He’ll take care of you.
